Hearts of Oak have lauded the National Sports Authority’s (NSA) decision to reverse new charges introduced for teams using the Accra Sports Stadium for the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League.

The NSA in a letter on Tuesday announced charges for the usage of the Accra Sports Stadium ahead of the upcoming 2020/21 football season.

The letter signed by its Director-General Professor Peter Twumasi, said matches involving Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak and the National teams including Black Stars are category A matches and gate proceeds would be shared using the usual formula but matches involving Asante Kotoko or Hearts of Oak and other clubs classified as category B will see the home team paying GH¢20,000.00 per a game.

The announcement caused an uproar with the Ghana Football Association President demanding for an immediate review of the fees.
