Winning bonuses and appearance fee is a subject that provoke lot of conversations among Ghanaian football lovers. There was a huge controversy surrounding this matter in our last World Cup appearance which ended in a fiasco.
As the first winter World Cup is drawing nigh, everyone is interested in how much of the tax payers sweat the Ghana government is going to invest in the team that have won no accolade in the past two decades.
In view of this, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Usif, have answered the questions on the minds of Ghanaians.
Speaking at the Walk of the legends event, he stated
“Everybody will know how much Black Stars are going to take. What we have indicated to them is that we are not going to increase what they had in Brazil, so whatever they had in Brazil stays because of the current economics circumstances.”
He added : We have budgeted for the entire tournament, and where we are going to reach will determine how much we are going to spend, so until we finish the tournament we can’t tell you how much we are going to spend but we have a budget estimated for the entire tournament.
