The Ghana Football Association says the Black Stars are ready accept any amount the state would offer them as winning bonus

Sanni Daara, the Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has indicated that the playing body of the Black will take any amount the nation will offer them as winning bonus.

Black Stars have lost the massive support they used to enjoy from the people of Ghana, after the playing body boycotted training during the 2014 FIFA World Cup over the delay in the payment of appearance fees.

However, ahead of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon the GFA says the players focus is not on monetary gains, as they have been tagged.

"The players have told us that they will take any amount that the nation is willing pay them as their bonus money. They met the management committee and told them this,'' Ghana FA spokesperson Ibrahim Sannie-Daara told Metro FM.

''They want to send a signal to the Ghanaian public that they are not playing because of the money and hence this decision. What ever Ghana can pay, they will take it.''
