The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has received 50% of the COVID-19 Relief Fund from FIFA.
The Ghana FA will inform clubs today about the arrival of the relief fund as they prepare for the 26th Ordinary Congress tomorrow.
The US$500,000 will benefit Premier League clubs, Division One League clubs, Regional football clubs and all other stakeholders.
Another US$500,000 which has been specified for Women’s football has also been received.
The Ghana FA has therefore received US$1,000,000 which will be disbursed among the football community in coming days as a way of mitigating the financial difficulties they have faced due to the coronavirus crisis.
The Ghana FA officials who confirmed the news to Ghanaweb hinted that rendering proper accounts for this US$1 million by beneficiaries is a condition for FIFA releasing the other tranche of US$500,000 in January 2021.
The Ghana FA has been in videoconference meetings with beneficiaries to explain the process as well as the FIFA Regulations on the relief fund.
The money has arrived at a good time as clubs and other stakeholders are preparing to attend the Congress tomorrow,where key decisions will be taken for the development of Ghana football.
