Unity FC CEO Responds to Allegations over GFA Boots : Chief Executive Officer of Division One League side Unity FC , Richmond Osei , has reacted to allegations made by the club’s team manager and captain that he has sold 15 pairs of the soccer boots provided by the Ghana Football Association.
Each of the 18 Premier League clubs and 48 Division One League teams are to receive 30 pairs of brand-new football boots free of charge for the 2022/23 season. Whilst the boots are handed over to the clubs , they are actually meant to be given to the registered players of the clubs.
However players of the Ahafo Kenyasi-based side have threatened to boycott the remaining matches of the 2022/23 Division One League Zone 1B because the club’s CEO has refused to give them all the 30 pairs of boots but Osei Richmond denies the accusations made by his own management team member.
“I have not sold the boots. My car broke down last weekend and that is why I was not able to send all the boots to them. I send them 15 pairs but I could not send them the rest of the boots because of my faulty car.” , Osei Richmond said on Kumasi-based Fox FM on Monday.
“Even if I have sold the boots , the club is for me and they cannot tell me what to do. They don’t care about my broken car but they are rather talking about the boots. What do they even need the boots for. Check the table , they are bottom with negative six points and so what do they even need the boots for” , the livid CEO added.
