“Players in Indian indoor games are well paid than the GPL” – William Opoku
Indian based Ghanaian midfielder, William Opoku, has revealed the reason behind the huge influx of Ghanaian players in the Asian country.
According to Opoku who plays for I-League second division side Bhawanipore, players make good money even playing in unofficial indoor games.
Opoku revealed there are Ghanaian players who don’t have clubs in India but thrive on monies made playing in these indoor games.
“The good thing about India is that, there are these indoor pitches that you can play 15 minutes a game and earn a $100, and if you are a big player you can receive $300 for just 15 minutes,” he told Asempa FM.
“If you even get a second division club here, you can make some good money than in the Ghana Premier League,” said Opoku.
“You can get as much as GHC 10,000 a month playing for a lower tier side. Sit’s better than the GPL players”
The former Okyeman Planners player has been in India since 2017, and insists he will urge Ghanaian players to come to India because the pay is good.
