Since the announcement of the share of the various stakeholders under the Ghana Football Association, some administrators – especially those in the Division One have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the $7,500 allocated to each of the 48 clubs in that division.

Chief Executive Officer of New Edubiase United Abdul Salam Yakubu has publicly stated that he will reject the said amount, while CEO of Berekum Arsenals Yakubu Moro has accused the FA of planning to hold a chunk of the amount for their personal use.
