“We (Clubs) are not ready for any loan from the GFA because the FIFA money belongs to us, they (FIFA) are bringing the money because of us. The FA must share the money to the clubs than using for their operational cost,” Nana Darlington told OTEC FM

“You (GFA) went to the government to solicit funds for us (Clubs) due to the Pandemic and thankfully FIFA has given you money, why don’t you give it to us?” he quizzed
“I know even clubs all over the world are celebrating because of FIFA’s money, so, what prevents you (GFA) from sharing the FIFA’s money to us. They (GFA) will see how strong we (Clubs) are if they fail to share the FIFA money.” he concluded.
