This comes almost four months after the two-leg finals at the Accra and Kumasi Sports stadiums on January 2 and 9, respectively.

Deputy Minister of Education and Sports Mr Osei Bonsu Amoah announced this in Accra on the final day of the two-day Ghana Football Association (GFA) Congress late last week.

He however failed to mention the amount and attempts by the GNA Sports to get the figures from the clubs also failed.

Mr Amoah said the approval is to fulfil the promise made by the government to compensate the clubs after the cancellation of the maiden competition.

Although the figures are apparently unknown, football sources told the GNA Sports that it falls below the budget presented by both clubs to the ministry and they are likely to reject it.

The GFA in conjunction with the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) postponed the final matches, which were then close to the country’s general elections citing security reasons.

The two clubs demanded that they be compensated on grounds that they had spent money in preparing the teams for the original date. Hearts won the cup on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate score line.
