According to him, the Authority only got GHc500 from the match, which was played at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
He explained that the turnout was low, the NSA was losing money and faced the challenge of maintaining the various stadiums.
“It’s very frustrating for the authorities and the burden is on the NSA because when there is a small amount, we lose a lot,” Mr. Appiah told Luv FM.
“To keep the place tidy, tidy and then the field, the problem is how to find funds to maintain the place.
“The pressure is on the NSA when the audience is low and we are not part of the GFA sponsorship money that, when the audience does not come, use this to keep the place.”
He added: “The light bill this month is GHS 14,000 so if we play and get zero and the Kotoko FA Cup match against Bechem United, you get GHS 500, you will see that in one month, we lose a lot.
“So it’s a big problem that as soon as possible, the FA, the ministry, the NSA, we need to sit down quickly and look at the best way to deal with the situation.”
In recent years, Ghana’s topflight has been besieged by low stadium attendances, with even the big clubs struggling to command crowds for their games.
