The senior national team of Ghana, Black Stars have appealed to the incoming government to restore their $10, 000 winning bonus ahead of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
According to the spokesperson of the President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo, Mustapha Hamid the players made the appeal when he met the team Sunday.
Mustapha Hamid and Isaac Asiamah who is tipped to be named Youth and Sports Minister met with the Black Stars at the Alisa Hotel.
“The only thing that came up in our meeting with the players was the winning bonuses,” Mustapha told Asempa FM. “The players told us the winning bonus has been $10,000 for the past eight years and according to them the Youth and Sports Minister, Nii Lante Vanderpuye slashed the winning bonus from $10,000 to $8,000 so they appealed to the NPP government to restore the $10,000 winning bonus back.
“Hon. Isaac Asiamah assured them that he will inform the transitional team if they should restore the $10,000 winning bonus but I can’t confirm that it has been accepted.
The team is currently in Dubai preparing for Africa Cup of Nations which kicks of on January 14, 2017 in Gabon.

heerr if yu people no go play chale find some bed bi den slp
So is it because your winning bonuses were slashed to $8000 that's why you refused to win any of the World Cup Qualifying matches? Who loses? When you qualify and participate at the world stage, is it not to your individual benefits. So what at all do you guys want from the ordinary ghanaian. Which African, European and South American teams take that much for winning a game. So you guys do not have any mercies for your country's economy and development of the game at the local level?
I think with akuffo addo in control, the GFA should better sit up because he will not be paying for mediocrity.
u are selfish
Nana Addo is too wise a man to easily grant this ridiculous request. If you cannot play just quite.
they never asked for US$10,000 they want 10,000 cedis to as a show of support for Nana Addo. They are rather being influence by the greedy management Team
Look at them!!! After misbehaving at Brazil you are still not ashamed and still have the confidence to talk. Nana Addo has better issues to handle and not boys who are so ungrateful. How I wish they will lose all their matches so we can have our peace of mind in this country.
greeedyy bastarrrdsss
What? 10000 dollars . that is too much. aaba black stars have mercy small for your country.this money when given you after winning, trummuu nkoa na mo de be di. mo de ne nyinaa bebue gya. you guys are already dosted
