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.
