Ghana FA to commence use of minimum wage cap in 2023/24 season

Ghana Football Association President Mr. Kurt Okraku says minimum wage cap for Ghana Premier League players will be introduced in the 2023-24 season.

The FA Chief confirmed that there have been some discussions with the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG) regarding the smooth implementation of the policy.

Speaking at the GFA’s Dine with the Legend, Okraku disclosed negotiations has been positive so far with the PFAG.

“Beyond the introduction of the standard player contact, we have also been discussing the introduction of minimum wages for the players in this country.

“Again, in my visit to the PFAG, we discussed this policy.

“This policy will go through the internal process and God willing next season, we should introduce minimum player salaries for professional players in this country.

Okraku continued: “I understand that there is an insurance scheme for Ex players of our national teams led by the PFAG.

“We would explore the possibility of ensuring that we have a 100% coverage on health issues for our players.”

The existence of the minimum salary cap will help reduce the wholesale departure of footballers from the Ghanaian scene.

Also, the GFA hopes to improve the lives of most Ghanaian players and have the intention of making them top stars like most foreign-based players.
