Black Stars appearance fees slashed to $5,000
The Black Stars of Ghana could see their earnings
slashed by more than half if a proposal by the
Ministry of Youth and Sports is approved.

Allsports.com.gh understands that the Ministry has
proposed a flat match appearance fee of $5000
dollars per game for the AFCON in Equatorial
Guinea irrespective of the outcome or stage of a
tournament the team get to;meaning the most each
player could make is $30,000 if the team reaches a
final.

Players of the national team of Ghana are among
the best paid on the continent,earning $10,000 per
match and also earn qualification bonuses. The new
proposal also includes a $60,000 reward if the
team wins the tournament.

Allsports.com.gh also understands the ministry
and the Ghana Football Association have held
extensive discussions over the new pay structure
as both parties seek to avoid a repeat of the
embarrassing situation that headlined Ghana's
participation at the World Cup in Brazil when
players revolted over delays in the payment of
their appearance fees.
