The energetic striker wowed fans of the Ghana Premier League with his amazing display forming a deadly partnership with Joseph Esso in the recently canceled Ghana Premier League season.

It’s no doubt that his performances have caught the eye of Muaither SC, Qatar, who have splashed the cash to get their man, who has since departed to do his medicals and sign the dotted lines.

Reports making headways on the local font indicate that Accra Hearts of Oak will be the beneficiaries of a whopping $150,000.

However, Hearts’ CEO Fred Moore, insists that until everything about the Kofi Kordzi move is signed and sealed the clubs involved cannot make it official to the football public.



“When there is an announcement to make we’ll do it. We have already made the announcement that Kofi is gone for his medicals pending his move to his new club, when anything changes we will let you and the rest of the media know,”

How much they are paying us, for me, is not the most important thing. The player has got an opportunity to play outside Ghana and everybody who plays in Ghana, or 90 percent of those who play in the Ghana league whether premiership, first or second division their aim is to continue their career outside and Kofi has got a fantastic opportunity to do just that.

“That is good for him, it showed the tenacity, Kofi was spotted from a lower division league and was brought to Hearts of Oak, we gave him a platform and he’s been able to cope and done very well for the club and himself and that is the story and not the negative talk about his transfer,” Mr Moore hinted to GraphicSports

Accra Hearts of Oak CEO, Frederick Moore has strongly backed the committee’s work in light of growing concerns that the remuneration packages they put together was too exorbitant and would have dire implications on the country’s scare resource.



The Committee was tasked with the responsibility of drawing up a remuneration package for Ghana Football Association particularly the President, Vice as well as ExCo members.

They presented their recommendations which have approved at the recent 26th Ordinary Congress upon several deliberations. approved the figures.

According to Fred Moore, people should consider the value of work that the Ghana Football Association officials would undertake rather than the numbers that are being thrown about in the media.

In an interview with Citi FM, he pointed out the officials have the interest of the overall game at hand.

“We have to be very careful if we really want to improve Ghana football that we don’t only see the cost but also notice what the value can be.”

“It is easy to see a cost,it is more difficult to see the value because if the FA continues the way they are working and they bring real value to Ghana football, those monies will be insignificant.



“We didn’t just propose those figures, we compared it against other associations in West Africa excluding Nigeria because that would have seriously distorted it. We also compared it against companies in Ghana including NGO’s before arriving at those figures.

Breakdown of Allowances

The President, Kurt Okraku will duly receive a  monthly allowance of GHS 12,000, Vice President, Mark Addo will take home a cool  GHS 7,000 whiles the Executive Council members will be paid GHS 4000 as allowances.

Meeting Allowances

With regards to meeting allowance, the President will take home GHS 1600, his vice will pocket GHS 1400 as meeting allowance with the Executive Council members also receiving GHS 1300.

These new changes to the allowances and bonuses structure have since been met with lots of backlash from the public spectacle on electronic media, social media as well as other mediums, with many claiming that the Kurt led administration that preached on the mantra of “”bringing back the love” are taking exorbitant allowances that will have dire implications on the public purse of the country.

However, the new payment structure will eliminate the system of paying ex-gratia to EXCO members at the end of their tenure with members of the previous administration getting a $15,000 payout.

In a little over two months football clubs all over the world have been adversely affected by the novel pandemic, coronavirus, which has caused lots of harm than good.

Ghanaian clubs like the rest of the world have had to adopt measures in a bid to mitigate the financial hurdles they are going through.

This has however necessitated Managing Director of Hearts of Oak, Frederick Moore to suggest that clubs need multiple sources of revenue to augment their growing financial burdens.

Since the inception of this virus, lots of sporting related activities have been placed on hold, with most clubs solely dependent on sponsorships and gate proceeds.

In the absence of football, gate proceeds are no longer available for clubs to rely on but for sponsorship, which he adds that no club can survive on that.

In a recent interview with Accra based, Happy FM he shared his opinion on the impact of Covid-19 on clubs financially as well as other areas of operation.

“Since there will be no gate proceeds for the clubs, I think clubs will continue to suffer from the pandemic”

“In terms of revenue, Hearts of Oka have lost about 2/3 or more. I don’t think there is a club in Ghana that can survive mainly on sponsorship”

Clubs are looking towards the Football Association for financial assistance to help mitigate their heavy financial woes amidst the pandemic.

Some countries(Kenya, Ethiopia, Congo, and others) have recently canceled their leagues, it remains to be seen if Ghana would follow in that direction.
