The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has confirmed the cancellation of winning bonuses for members of the Black Stars Management Committee and other national team management bodies.
Addressing the media on Tuesday ahead of Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Chad, Mr. Adams disclosed that committee members previously received $10,000 for each victory.
That practice, he explained, has now been scrapped to ensure fairness and accountability in state spending.
“Black Stars Management Committee members were on $10,000 as a winning bonus, while players were on $5,000. Previous administrations were paying winning bonuses to the Management Committee members of the national teams,” he said.
“The Sports Ministry has decided not to pay winning bonuses to the management team members of the national teams. Per diem for each Black Stars player is $150, while technical team members receive $200,” Adams added.
The current Management Committee is chaired by Dr. Randy Abbey, with former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah serving as vice chairman.
Other members include Samuel Aboabire, Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association; Moses Parker, President of Medeama SC; and Richard Nsenkyire, President of FC Samartex 1996.
Mr. Adams also revealed that a budget of $860,000 has been approved for the Black Stars’ away fixture against Chad on Thursday, September 8.
