The Ghana Football Association is demanding for a staggering $12 million from the government for "re-branding and development" after the Coronavirus pandemic.

The FA has sent a proposal to the Ministry of Youth and Sports requesting for a share of the Coronavirus stimulus package.

The proposed $12 million is meant for " re-branding and development" of local football post Coronavirus.

The Kurt Okraku-led GFA reiterated the fact that it has struggled to find a sponsor for the league from corporate bodies.

The association, also believe, there are a lot of things needed to be done in rebranding football hence the demand for the above-mentioned amount.

The Ghana Premier League is currently on suspension due to the Coronavirus pandemic that has brought the world to a stand still.
