Speaking during a media briefing on Tuesday ahead of Ghana’s fixture with Chad in the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mr. Adams disclosed that individuals on the Black Stars management team previously received $10,000 as a reward for victories.
Even though the Minister has discontinued the incentive payments for management officials, both players and coaching staff will continue to be granted winning bonuses along with daily allowances.
“Black Stars Management Committee members were on $10,000 as a winning bonus, while players were on $5,000. Previous administrations were paying winning bonuses to Management Committee members of the national teams.
“The Sports Ministry has decided not to pay winning bonuses to the management team members of the national teams. Per diem for each Black Stars player is $150, while technical team members receive $200,” Kofi Adams told the press.
In addition, the Sports and Recreation Ministry has sanctioned a total budget of $860,000 for the Black Stars’ encounter with Chad on Thursday, September 8.
