Kwabena Yeboah shares thought on how much players should be paid in local league

Veteran Ghana broadcaster, Kwabena Yeboah has proposed that players in the Ghanaian local league are paid a minimum of $2,000 per month.

According to him, this will motivate players in the top-flight league to stay in the league for it to grow.

Kwabena Yeboah shared this thought during a breakfast meeting organized by leading online betting company Betway Ghana, with the SWAG, and the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) on how to positively build the Ghana Premier League (GPL).

“The minimum salary to be paid to players should be at least $2000. That way, we can keep our top stars and minimize the act of players leaving the shores of Ghana to play abroad,” the SWAG boss shared.

Kwabena continued, “If teams in Africa can pay such an amount to get our players, why can’t Ghana do the same?”.

Player exodus has long been a problem in the Ghanaian local league. Year after year top players especially from the Ghana Premier League move away largely for greener pastures.
