Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Oduro Sarfo has stressed that no member of the management committee of the Black Stars received an appearance fee as is being speculated.
According to him, no member of the management team even received a dime during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“Let me add this, no member of the management committee of the Black Stars took a dime, not even a pesewa as an appearance fee. The Ministry of Sports prior to the tournament said this time no appearance fee,” Oduro Sarfo said in an interview with Kessben FM.
According to him, while the Ghana FA is not against criticism, it only wants people to speak with facts and avoid spewing lies that tarnish the brand of the Black Stars.
“We are not saying people should not speak because they are Ghanaians, we are also Ghanaians. Are we (GFA people) Togolese? If something is going wrong with lies, we have to protect it as FA.
“People have been doing this for a long time and it is getting too much. It is deliberate for some others. What have we done? Speak but say the truth,” the GFA exco members said.
On Tuesday, the Ghana FA issued a statement insisting that persons who defame officials and the Black Stars will be dealt with legally.
