President of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi has rubbished claims some players are planning to boycott national team duty due to a reported slash in their bonus package.<\/p>\n
Reports say the Ministry of Youth and Sports has resolved to pay a flat fee of $5000 as bonuses to the senior national team, the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the Ministry revealed the new pay structure which the ministry intends to implement from the next competitive fixture of the national team in November.<\/p>\n
But Nyantakyi after being re-elected as President of the Ghana Football Association says he is unaware of any possible boycott from players of the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am unaware of any boycott from the Black Stars player and do not know that if they called you to tell you or they made a public statement,\u201d Nyantakyi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Black Stars players are patriotic and they do not play for money; they play for their country. A boycott will not happen today, it will not happen tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Black Stars will play against Rwanda in the second match day of the 2017 AFCON qualifiers in September.<\/p>\n
