Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams has disclosed that members of the Black Stars’ technical team receive only half of the winning bonuses given to players, with the remaining portion dependent on the team’s qualification for major tournaments.
Addressing the press in Accra on Tuesday, Mr. Adams explained that the policy was introduced to ensure accountability in state spending while also motivating the technical staff to deliver results.
“The Black Stars technical team members are paid half of the winning bonuses given to players,” he said.
“If the team qualifies for a major tournament, the remaining 50% will be paid. If they fail, they forfeit the money,” he added.
The Minister’s comments came during a briefing on Ghana’s expenditure for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
The Black Stars are currently in N’Djamena, where they will face Chad on September 4 at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno, before hosting Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 8.
