Former Ghana international, Tony Yeboah, says the constant demand for bribe from match officials forced him to sell his club, Yegoala FC.
The former Leeds United player, after hanging his boots, formed Yegoala FC as his way of giving back to society after enjoying an illustrious football career in Europe.
To the surprise of many, the striker, after just five years of forming the club, decided to sell it.
According to him, his decision to sell the club was necessary to avoid being turned into a corrupt person due to practices he witnessed.
“I live a peaceful life after withdrawing from doing football in Ghana. It was a good decision I took,” he told Asempa FM on the Ultimate Sports Show.
“If I had not stopped doing football in Ghana, I would have been forced to be corrupt because almost all the clubs were paying bribes to referees and so nobody was ready to listen to my cry.
“I stopped doing football in Ghana because the officiating officials were maltreating my team because I was not ready to pay bribe,” he added.
