Ghanaian politician and 2020 Presidential Candidate of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Percival Kofi Akpaloo, has promised to reward each player of Hearts of Oak a Ghs 1,000 should they win their first leg tie against Wydad Athletic Club in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round.
The Phobians will lock horns with the Moroccan giants at the Accra Sports Stadium for the first leg of the final qualifying round of the 2021/22 CAF Champions League on Sunday.
The players are aiming to make the group stages of the competition they once won in 2000, for the first time since 2006 and face a herculean task in getting past the African football powerhouse.

In a move to motivate the team, Kofi Akpaloo has promised a monetary reward to each and every member of the team with head coach Samuel Boadu also set to earn double of the playing body’s reward if they deliver.
“I will give every Hearts of Oak player Ghs 1,000 and Ghs 2,000 to the coach should they beat WAC at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday,” Mr Kofi Akpaloo told Kumasi based OTEC FM.
“So far as Hearts is a Ghanaian team, it’s my prayer they progress to the next stage of the competition”.
“They should go all out with the Phobian spirit as they did to win the Ghana Premier league,“ he added.
