Asante Kotoko ordered to pay $36k in 6 days or face GFA’s wrath

Asante Kotoko have a deadline to pay 4 former players around $36,000 in the next 6 working days or face the wrath of the Ghana Football Association.

Asante Kotoko appealed against the decision of the Player Status Committee.

During its hearing the Appeals Committee has decided that Asante Kotoko are to pay the players a combined sum of GHs 204,600 which is equivalent to $36,000 dollars.

The club was given 7 working days to settle the players for which failing to do so will see them referred to the Disciplinary Committee for the necessary action to be taken.
