The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Foundation has donated GHC50,000.00 to former Black Satellites Coach Sellas Tetteh, who led the national under-20 team to win the World Cup in 2009.
As part of the association’s initiative to support struggling personalities through the newly established GFA Foundation, the first donation was made to Tetteh who had been battling with ailments in recent times.
The GFA president Kurt Okraku who appreciated the efforts of the coach used the opportunity to clarify recent media reports that the GFA, or Ministry of Youth and Sports, owes the coach incentives and salaries.
Meanwhile, Sellas Tetteh had earlier received a donation of a similar amount from the Ministry of Youth and Sports in February after persistent calls in the media to support the veteran coach who was battling with health conditions.
