Former Black Princesses coach Didi Dramani says members of Ghana’s women’s Under-20 team are still owed three qualifying bonuses dating back to 2016.
Dramani, who led the team to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea that year, claims the players have received only one of four qualifying winning bonuses they were entitled to.
Speaking on Asempa FM, the former Hearts of Oak coach revealed that some of the players continue to contact him in the hope that he can help secure the outstanding payments.
“As I speak with you now, since 2016 when I sent the Black Princesses to the World Cup, they have only paid one of four qualifying winning bonuses. I still receive their calls about their unpaid bonuses because they feel that I should be someone who can push for it,” he said.
Dramani questioned why the players had been left waiting for so long, arguing that the relevant authorities should at least communicate with them about the situation.
“Why is it like that? Because it is not supposed to be so. They could have at least had time to speak with them and let them know they are aware of the situation,” he added.
The Black Princesses have been regular participants in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, but Dramani’s claims raise questions about the fulfilment of financial commitments to players who have served the national team.
