2009 U-20 World Cup winning Satellites to access 15-year old investment

This follows the maturity of the fifteen(15)-year investment made on behalf of the Black Satellites 2009 U-20 World Cup playing body by the Ministry of Youth and Sports on January 4, 2025.

The invitation extended to the players was contained in a letter addressed to the General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association and copied to the Ministry of Youth and Sports. A total investment of GHS210,000 was made on behalf of the 21 players, with each player allocated GHS10,000 by the Ministry in 2009.

“This investment has matured after 15 years, and the players can now collect their cheques from the SAS Office in Accra, starting from January 8, 2025”, said SAS.

“To collect their cheques, players must present a valid Ghana Card for identification purposes. If a player is unable to collect their cheque personally, they can authorize a third party to do so by presenting a notarized Power of Attorney”, the statement continued.

“The SAS Office is located on the 14th floor of the World Trade Centre, Independence Avenue, Accra”, the Statement went on to say.

This investment package also included an annual insurance cover to cater for life and health-related expenses for each player over the 15-year period, SAS added.

The Black Satellites’ 2009 U-20 World Cup win was a historic moment for Ghanaian football, marking the country’s first and only U-20 World Cup title to date.
