Ebenezer Aidoo, the Brands and Marketing Manager of Medeama SC has appealed to President Akufo Addo to fulfil his promise to the club ahead of their CAF Champions League group phase games.
The Yellow and Mauve presented their trophy to Akufo Addo after being crowned champions of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.
Following their visit to the Jubilee House, Akufo Addo promised the team Ghc1m ahead of their Africa campaign. However, having qualified for the group phase for the first time in its history, Medeama SC is yet to receive the promised amount.
With the group phase games scheduled to kick off later this month, Mr Aidoo is calling on President Akufo Addo to make the promised amount available. “We want to thank the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for their support since our campaign in Africa because it has been good,” he told Asempa FM,
“But again, we want to appeal to President Akufo Addo that he promised to offer us Ghc1m when we visited him, and we are pleading that he walks the talk.
Our travelling expenses and all the arrangements we are putting in place are costing us a lot, so we are appealing to President Akufo Addo to fulfil his promise to us because we need the money to compete, and compete well in the CAF Champions League,” he added.
Medeama SC has been paired with Al Ahly, Young Africans, and CR Belouizdad in Group D. The Ghana Premier League champions will open their campaign against Al Ahly on November 25 at the Baba Yara Stadium.
