Former Ghana international, Yusif Chibsah, has revealed that he was paid GH₵5 a month as salary when he was playing for Ghana Premier League side, King Faisal.
The former midfielder speaking in an interview said despite receiving a modest salary of GH₵5 per month, he was filled with excitement and gratitude to be given the opportunity to play in the country's topflight.
According to him, his main motivation was not the money but rather the chance to showcase his talent and make a name for himself in the football world.
“How much was I making at King Faisal, 5 cedis a month but that wasn’t the motivation for me. The motivation was a colts player getting the opportunity to play in the Premier League. That was the joy,” he said in an interview with Joy News.
“Week in week out you see yourself in Daily Graphic, Graphic Sports here and there, people are mentioning your name that was the joy. Maybe we were childish or young at that time but the money wasn’t the issue,” the former Asante Kotoko midfielder added.
Chibsah also played in Turkey, Finland and Sweden.
He also represented the Ghana national team, earning 13 caps and contributing to the national football scene.
