Referees in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) and Division 1 are facing significant financial challenges due to unpaid bonuses, ahead of the kick off of a new season.
The report states that Ghana Premier League referees have not received payments from Matchday 20 through Matchday 34, while Division 1 referees remain unpaid from Matchweek 15 through Matchweek 30.
This delay is especially concerning as the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season concluded two months ago, with the new season set to begin in less than two months.
The lack of payments has severely impacted the referees’ ability to prepare for the upcoming season, particularly in completing necessary medical examinations.
The 2024/25 season is scheduled to commence on September 6, 2024.
