The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has announced the cancellation of winning bonuses for members of the Black Stars Management Committee.<\/p>\n

Players of the national team will continue to receive $5,000 each as a winning bonus in the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers, but the $10,000 package previously allocated to management members has been scrapped.<\/p>\n

Addressing a press briefing in Accra on Tuesday, September 2, Mr. Adams explained that although the budget for each game was initially set at $1 million, the Ministry has approved $1.3 million to cover two matches.<\/p>\n

He stressed that management members would now be entitled only to their per diems and not performance-related bonuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf for every win we are to pay a winning bonus, what happens if we do not win the number of games to qualify us for the tournament?\u201d Mr. Adams questioned. \u201cUnder the previous arrangement, management team members received winning bonuses, but in the end, the team did not even qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations. The players earned nothing, yet managers walked away with bonuses. The president has made it clear: supervise and receive your per diem, but no winning bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n
