Ghana’s Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams has clarified that additional technical staff members of the Black Stars, including Ravera and Kim Lars Bjorkegren, will not receive salaries for their roles with the Black Stars.
“None of them will be on any salary. None of them is on a salary, but they will benefit from some of the allowances that are paid to the team, and these additions are just for the World Cup,” Adams explained to Citi Sports.
The minister emphasized that these arrangements are temporary and World Cup-specific.
“After the World Cup, the contract arrangement ends, so they will benefit from some money, including maybe the appearance fees that are paid, but they will not get 100% of their appearance fees.”
Adams highlighted the benefits the staff will receive, including winning bonuses and per diems.
“Of course, they will also benefit from the winning bonuses that are entitled to any member of the team when they win, and then, of course, the per diems that are paid to team members, they will be entitled to.”
