Hearts of Oak have revealed that the club received only GHS 190,000 from the much-anticipated Super Clash gate proceeds, despite generating GHS 510,000 in total revenue.
The disclosure was made by Yussif Abdulai, NCC Chairman for Hearts of Oak, during an interview on Asempa FM, where he expressed concern about the significant deductions made by the National Sports Authority (NSA).
According to Abdulai, the NSA’s operational charges and associated costs amounted to more than GHS 300,000, leaving the Phobians with less than half of what fans assumed the club had earned from the sold-out fixture.
He described the situation as “deeply worrying” for clubs relying on matchday revenue as a key source of funding. Abdulai added that such deductions continue to weaken the financial stability of football teams who already struggle with maintaining playing squads and operational expenses.
The Super Clash, the biggest fixture in Ghana football, typically guarantees high attendance and substantial revenue. However, this latest revelation has reignited discussions around stadium management fees, transparency in deductions, and the long-standing tension between the NSA and Premier League clubs.
Supporters have begun calling for a review of the existing financial arrangements, highlighting the need for a more sustainable model that allows clubs to benefit more equitably from their own home games.
