On Tuesday, September 8, President John Mahama presented a total of $60,000 to three Ghanaian football clubs in support of their continental campaigns. Medeama SC, the reigning Ghana Premier League champions, received the largest portion of $30,000 to help them participate in the CAF Champions League. The Tarkwa-based club started their campaign with a 1-0 home loss to TP Mazembe of DR Congo in the first leg of their preliminary-round tie and must now come back from the deficit in Lubumbashi to advance.
Nations FC, the holders of the MTN FA Cup, were awarded $20,000 during a visit to the Jubilee House ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup qualifier. The Accra-based team fell 1-0 to Mali's FC Diarra in the first leg on September 5 and will aim to capitalize on home support as they strive to keep their continental aspirations alive in the return match in Accra.
Ampem Darkoa Ladies, the champions of the Women's Premier League, were given $10,000 in recognition of their domestic title and their advance to the final of the WAFU B Women's Champions League qualifiers. Although the Ghanaian side fell short of a spot in the CAF Women's Champions League after losing the qualifying final to Nigeria's Edo Queens, the financial aid acknowledges their accomplishments in representing Ghana in continental competitions.
