Sports and Recreation Minister, Kofi Adams, has confirmed that members of the newly constituted Black Stars Management Committee are not receiving any remuneration for their roles.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) disbanded the previous committee, led by Mark Addo, following the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
However, a new committee was formed ahead of the World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
The committee is chaired by Dr. Randy Abbey, with former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah serving as Vice Chairman and head of Player Relations. Samuel Aboabire and Moses Armah oversee matchday activities and operations, while Richard Nsenkyire is responsible for special duties related to the team.
Asked whether the committee members would be compensated, especially after the team’s back-to-back wins, Mr. Adams clarified that the government is not paying them at this time.
“Black Stars Management Committee members are not being paid for now, but if we qualify for the World Cup, then the government will make a decision on what they must be given as a reward,” he told Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show.
He further explained that the only support provided by the government so far has been covering their accommodation and meals.
“The only thing the government took care of is their food and where they would sleep. For now, they are all doing a sacrificial job for the team,” he added.
