Black Stars of Ghana players to be paid $75,000 World Cup appearance
Ghana's government has approved a US $9.6M budget for
Ghana's participation in the World Cup.
The Black Stars of Ghana will be going into Brazil with less than half the budget they had at the last edition of the tournament in which they had a budget of $19m approved. The cabinet this time around reduced the budget from a proposed $22m, following the public complain about the cost and budget for the World Cup.

will will each receive $75,000 for their appearance at the tournament.
The
Sports Minister, Elvis Afriye-Ankrah revealed the amount earlier
yesterday, he also said the amount remains unchanged from what was
paid 4 years ago at the last edition of the competition which was
held in South Africa.
Speaking
on Accra-based Power FM the minister said-“Based on our discussion
the government insist that we should maintain our bonuses and for the
record, the 2010 figure was $75,000 and so we should maintain the
2010 because we are all going through challenges”
