GFA clarifies Black Stars’ Management Committee does not receive winning bonuses

Nana Oduro Sarfo

Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Nana Oduro Sarfo, has clarified that members of the Black Stars’ Management Committee do not receive winning bonuses.

His comments follow remarks by the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, who, during a press conference on Tuesday, September 2, announced the cancellation of winning bonuses for the Management Committee while outlining the senior national team’s budget ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali.

Speaking to Oyerepa FM, Oduro Sarfo refuted the minister’s claims, stressing that committee members are compensated solely through per diems.

“The Management Committee members have never been paid winning bonuses,” Oduro Sarfo said.

“The only thing they ever receive are per diems, so I really don’t understand why anyone would suddenly want to create a phantom issue about bonuses for Management Committee members,” he added.

Ghana will face Chad in Matchday 7 of the qualifiers on Thursday, September 4, at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno in N’Djamena, before hosting Mali on Monday, September 8, at the Accra Sports Stadium for Matchday 8.
