The Ghana Football Association’s Communications Director, Henry Asante-Twum, has said that the Black Stars players who competed in the just ended 2021 AFCON in Cameroon were paid $20,000 as an appearance fee.
Ghana’s Black Stars were ousted from the competition in the group stages for the first time since 2006 in Egypt.
Ghana finished bottom of Group C with one point after losses to Morocco and Comoros, as well as a 1-1 tie with Morocco.
In an interview with Starr FM, Asante-Twum stated that the players did not receive any winning bonuses because they did not win any of their group stage games and were only awarded for their participation in the competition.
“THE PLAYERS WERE PAID $20,000 AS APPEARANCE FEE, THEY DIDN’T EARN ANY BONUS BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WIN A SINGLE GAME.”
