The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has disclosed that each player of the national team received $20,000 as appearance fee during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
This was confirmed by the Communications Director of the GFA, Henry Asante-Twum, in an interview with Accra-based Starr FM.
The Black Stars endured a poor run in the tournament in Cameroon, culminating in a humiliating 3-2 defeat to Comoros. The result saw Ghana finish at the bottom of Group C after failing to win any of their three group matches.
Also, this is the first time since 2006 that the Black Stars have been eliminated from the AFCON in the group stages.
“The players were paid $20,000 as appearance fee, they didn’t earn any bonus because they did not win a single game,” Asante-Twum said.
The FA’s Communications Director also denied reports that a decision has been made to appoint Chris Hughton as the next Ghana coach.
