Yusif Chibsah stated players sign contracts which barreds them from engaging in any form of sports betting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as PFAG continue to advise the players that any contract they signed there is a clause that prevents them from engaging in sports betting and match manipulation”, he told Happy FM.<\/p>\n

“If they allow people to deceive them it is their career they are jeopardizing. They should be careful and stay away from betting\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also urged the Ghana Football Association to take a giant step in dealing with rumors’ of fixed matches in the domestic top-flight league.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to betting and you can\u2019t rely on rumors unless facts\u201d<\/p>\n
