Ghana FA orders Hearts of Oak assistant coach Hamza Obeng to pay GHS 37,500 to Medeama SC

Accra Hearts of Oak deputy coach Hamza Obeng has been ushered by the Status Committee of the Ghana Football Association to pay Gh¢37,500 to Medeama SC for breach of contract.

Two-time FA Cup holders, Medeama SC were demanding damages in excess GH₵ 90,000 for the “unilateral” termination of Obeng’s contract.

But the Status Committee of the Ghana FA has rejected the residual value claim by Medeama, insisting the coach must pay the club a meagre GH₵ 37,500 for breach of contract.

The Tarkwa based club backed their case with legal justification for financial claims citing multiple adjudication cases from FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).

In the case filed by Medeama SC, they said the decision by coaches Samuel Boadu and Hamza Obeng are “premature, hasty, arbitrary, unacceptable and above all abuse of office as an employee” and did not find it expedient and prudent to warn or complain to the club before taken the decisions.

Hamza Obeng resigned from his role as assistant coach at the club on March 16 to join his boss at Hearts of Oak.
