Communications Director for the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Henry Asante-Twum, has revealed that the Black Stars players received $20,000 as an appearance fee at the just ended 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Cameroon.
Ghana’s Black Stars for the first time since 2006 were crashed out of the competition at the group phase with a just.
The team failed to win a game after three games played. Ghana suffered a defeat to Morocco and newbies Comoros and a 1-1 draw with Gabon.
Speaking in an interview with Accra based Starr FM, Asante-Twum stated that the players did not receive any winning bonus since they failed to win any of their group stage games and were only paid for their appearance at the competition.
“The players were paid $20,000 as an appearance fee, they didn’t earn any bonus because they did not win a single game,” he said.
The Black Stars will return to action in March when they host Nigeria in the first leg of the 2022 Fifa World Cup playoff.
