According to a survey by Fifpro. Hundred percent (100%) of footballers in Ghana have revealed they earn less than US$ 1,000 (£800) a month.
FIFpro established the Egypt’s league where a lot of Ghanaian players ply their trades is the fifth worst-paid of the 13 surveyed on the continent.
Over 90% of players said they were paid under $1,000 a month, which may be equivalent to Europe’s worst-paid surveyed country (Ukraine) but which reflects poorly against the tally of just 5% in Morocco.
North African country Morocco is the he best-paid on the continent with players earning over $1,000 a month but players are also the most insecure about their future.
Also, footballers in Ghana are 10 times more likely to be physically attacked by club seniors than the global average.
The International Federation of Professional Footballers (Fifpro) survey was conducted in 12 other African countries Botswana, Cameroon, DR Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia and Zimbabwe.
Over 3,000 of the players who took part in the survey.
