The Ministry of Youth and Sports is proposing a new bonus package for the senior national team; the Black Stars for the upcoming 2015 AFCON tournament.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”DmGazzjcucJvyujftXqjXV8n0axVY5oO”]The proposal would replace the tiered bonus package which paid incremental wining bonuses for each game won as the tournament progressed.<\/p>\n
According to the new proposal, each player will receive a flat match appearance fee of $5,000 per game regardless of the outcome or which stage of the tournament they get to.<\/p>\n
This would amount to $30,000 for six games played if they were to make it to the final.<\/p>\n

This would replaced the system where players took home winning bonuses of $10,000 at the group stage, $15,000 at the semi-finals, and more when they get to the final.<\/p>\n
The formula was proposed after extensive discussions between the Minister of Sports, Mahama Ayariga and the Ghana Football Association officials.<\/p>\n
