‘We need the money now to prepare’ – GPL clubs go after GFA over StarTimes money

The Ghana Premier League clubs have expressed dissatisfaction with the delay in payment of the Startimes Television Broadcast Right sponsorship money.

The Premier League clubs took home $30,000 each as their share of the StarTimes Television Broadcast Rights for the 1st season in the 5-year deal.

In the TV coverage sponsorship package by Startimes, it is stipulated that in the 2022/23 season, the premier league clubs will share $800,000.

The clubs have written to the Ghana football association as a matter of urgency to work on the disbursement of their money as the 2022/23 approaches with few days to commence the league.

They stressed that the situation of receiving their monies when the season is in session should be avoided this time.

In the first year of the sponsorship package, the clubs got their 1st tranche of the money after barely half of the season.

This time they say, their monies should be paid to them before the season kickstart to adequately prepare for the season.
