Ghanaian clubs need at least $1m in order to compete in Africa - New Edubiase President
New Edubiase President Abdul Salam Yakubu says
Ghanaian clubs need a minimum of $1m to enable
them compete favourably in African club
competitions.

Ghanaian clubs have failed over the years to make
meaningful impacts in both the CAF Champions
League and Confederation Cup.

Ghana’s representatives in African club
competitions have often blamed their inability to
creditably rough shoulder against the best clubs
on the continent due to lacking funds.

New Edubiase suffered from this syndrome when they
fell in the early stages in their maiden campaign
in the Confederations Cup following the death of
their major financier David Lamptey.

Club President Abdul Salam Yakubu says Ghanaian
clubs need at least $1m to compete favourably in
Africa.

“Clubs is Ghana, I tell you can compete in
Africa but for the lacking funds,” he told Metro
FM.

“Playing in Africa is no joke, it is very
expensive.

“No wonder the North Africans dominate the
competition because they have a lot of financial
help from their governments.

“Ghanaian clubs can compete favourably but money
is needed.

“If you want to play and compete in Africa,
you’ll need at least $1m.

“Berekum Chelsea proved it with their maiden
campaign with the injection of huge investment.”
