Division One League side Dunkwa United has rescinded their decision to withdraw from the Division One League competition this season.
Chief Executive Officer of the club Nana Amankwah Kwkye took to social media platform Facebook to announce his club will not take part in the league due to poor administration of football in the country.
“It is sad the way club owners have been taken for granted. Division one clubs did not get cedi from GN Bank sponsorship, per the explanation given the clubs, the sponsorship money has gone into paying some of the officiating fees, meaning it could not cater for all the officiating fee, clubs are told to pay extra Ghc8000 + to complete this officiating fee, why? I am now convinced that club owners are not serious people.
“I am a club owner, I will not invest in a place where I will not get my returns, football is no more an entertainment but rather a business venture.
“My club will not play in the league come 20th this month, if all club owners shall be taken for granted, I will not be taken for granted, I will channel my investment elsewhere. Dunkwa United will not play in the league….” Nana Amankwah wrote on his Facebook wall.
But after a meeting with Chairman of the Division One League Board, Owoahene Acheampong, Nana Amankwah has rescinded his decision.
“My respect for Owoahene Acheampong the chairman of DOLB has appreciated, a fine gentleman. His patience and explanation has gone down very well with me. Its takes a good leader like him to understand what I am fighting for.
“I hope all the grievance will be addressed in time, to enable all the clubs have a good league. It is better late than never.
“I stand for my club and my investment, I hope other clubs owners will also have the courage and balls to stand for what they believe in. With the explanation and assurance given I can confidently say that DUNKWA UNITED FC is in the league.
“God bless Ghana football………..”
