The management of Accra Hearts of Oak could be having problems in fulfilling the promises made to their players before the CAF Champions League finals and could face a possible showdown with the playing body over CAF's prize money for winning the continental trophy.

Hearts officials were hoping to reap close 500,000 dollars after the League and based on that faith, promised each player 25,000 dollars plus other incentives. However information reaching the GNA from the continental body shows that the money due the club falls far below expectation.

The Ghana News Agency laid hands on a letter sent by CAF to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) stating 291,000 dollars as the money due to Hearts after all deduction, in accordance with Article 42 paragraph 4 of CAF regulations.

What the letter failed to establish however, was whether the money was a part or full payment.

This development has taken the Hearts top brass by surprise and they have therefore requested the GFA General Secretary Worlanyo Agra to liase with CAF for clarification, especially on the 19,000 dollars deduction, which is meant for AFRO Media for transmitting the matches live.

Seventeen thousand dollars was also meant for the GFA out of which 12,000 are to be paid to CAF as returns from the matches.

A GFA source said CAF has made the cheque for 291,000 dollars ready for collection but Hearts want some clarifications before accepting the cheque.
