Topping the list of contributors is Accra Hearts of Oak, who have distinguished themselves as the highest football club contributor at SSNIT. This exemplary commitment emphasizes the club’s dedication to not only achieving success on the pitch but also ensuring the well-being of their players off the field.

However, it has been identified that three clubs are yet to fulfill their SSNIT contributions. These clubs are Nations FC, Bofoakwa Tano, and Karela. It is crucial for these clubs to rectify this matter promptly, as failure to meet their obligations can have serious consequences for both the players and the clubs themselves.
