Ghana Premier League powerhouse Hearts of Oak have received another financial complaint from FIFA over the unpaid fees to former defender Michael Awuah Mensah.
Mensah's agency, Royolbridge Industries, has legally petitioned the world football governing body over an outstanding debt of GH¢58,000, according to a report by Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
The claim covers compensation, unpaid salaries, and the remaining balance of the player’s signing-on fee. Mensah and Hearts of Oak mutually terminated his contract in August 2025 after he was declared surplus to requirements.
Mensah sealed a move to Berekum Chelsea shortly after his contract with the Phobians was abrogated.
This petition adds to a history of recent financial disputes for the Phobians. The club was previously hit with a $150,000 fine for the wrongful termination of former technical director Rene Hiddink, which resulted in a transfer ban.
They also settled a GH¢106,000 debt to former player Francis Adjetey to lift a separate ban and were ordered to pay Gladson Awako GH¢120,000 for unpaid entitlements.
