BBC reports that Ghana's government has sent over $3m (£1.8m) in cash by plane to Brazil to pay the appearance fees owed to the national team players at the World Cup.
Deputy Sports Minister Joseph Yamin told Ghanaian radio station Citi FM: "The players insisted that they will want physical cash....LMAO
"The government had to mobilise the money and a chartered flight to Brazil. The money is in excess of $3m."
Ghana must beat Portugal on Thursday (TODAY) for a chance of staying in the cup.
A draw or a defeat would mean elimination from tournament, while even a win would not be enough to put Ghana through to the knockout phase if Group G rivals United States and Germany were to draw their match.
Earlier in the week, there were rumours the Black Stars could boycott training ahead of the game if their demand for payment was not met.....LMAOOOOO
As unrest grew in the Ghana camp, Ghana President John Dramani Mahama personally assured the players that they would receive their money.
A statement from the Ghana Football Association said: "The government is pre-financing the payment of the Black Stars appearance fees which will be reimbursed when Fifa's prize money for Ghana's participation in the World Cup is paid after the tournament in Brazil."......excuse me?FIFA pays countries monies for participating in the match whether they win or lose?
I'm just happy that Nigeria has pass this stage sha...... Shak!

ReplyDeleteStella are you a learner? Yes now FIFA pay countries for participating in the tournament and the money increases at every stage of the tournament. Now Nigeria gets more money for going past the first round of games and qualifying for the round of 16 and for the Ghanians they deserve to be paid. They are hard fighters and truly fight with African spirit. I wish them well in their next match.

If not 4 that yeye Ayew, Ghana would have qualified for the round of 16 by now.( still angry with Ayew)
DeleteEhnehn...excuse yasef joor. U think they went there to snap instagram pics.
ReplyDeleteMorning Stella,Yes they pay the countries for participation .it gets juicier as they stay longer in the tournament.
ReplyDeleteAm seriously worried this morning,no where is safe anymore. I just remembered pepper's dream and my heart sank.....i hope individuals are not involved in this whole mess just to cause chaos in Nigeria!
Choi! Football life sweet oo. *shines teeth*
ReplyDeleter u a learner
ReplyDeleteLol @Ayew. The name funny sha, abi na as I take pronounce am. Back to the matter, we shouldn't compare whites to Africans, because they are true to their words so their players believe them. In our own case, Africans do promise and fail, especially if they didn't do well in the match. So it is better they collect their money in full, shekina!
ReplyDeleteI never knew Fifa paid them for participating.
ReplyDeleteSee dem dancing etighi lmao...EEE!!!
ReplyDelete$5M for qualifying and $8m for reaching round 16
