The popular refrain is that there is no money in the Ghana Premier League. There are no sponsors. The game is unattractive.

Clubs barely benefit from their numerous investments. But a look at the GPL clubs shows that some have really made some massive investment in tangible assets.

According to an extensive research undertaken by Angel Fm 102.9’s Floodlight Sports crew led by Saddick Adams, the top 10 most valuable clubs in Ghana have a combined asset (both tangible and player values) is worth 77.15 million dollars.

The indices used by the team and some astute valuers in the analysis included tangible assets,

player value and excluding club supporter base, copyright, trademarks and goodwill.

The tangible assets focused on facilities such pitches, club houses, secretariat, vehicles, lands and other properties. The location and current value of facilities owned by the clubs factored in arriving at the final top 10.

It is worth mentioning that some clubs were not graded as a result of lack of collaboration or lack of assets registered in their names.
