Honourable Pius Hadzide did say that it did make sense to adequately reward the young player’s aside cash

“Personally, I think there’s a lot of sense in the proposal to find creative ways to reward those ‘minors’ rather than cash.

“Motivation should not only be material. You should be intrinsically motivated to compete for Ghana. It should be a privilege to don the national colors at that age.

However Deputy Sports Minister did state that the ministry were found in a tight corner but his outfit will review the reward scheme for U-17 players going forward.

“But we met a situation and the attitude was not to rock the boat at the time. But going forward, we all need to discuss these matters and come to a conclusion on what the way forward should be.”
