The playing body of the Black Galaxies have received all outstanding entitlements ahead of their clash against Sudan in the 2023 Championship for African Nations (CHAN).
Ghana booked qualification for September 2022 after beating sworn rivals, Nigeria on penalties to end their six-year absence at the CHAN tournament but the government failed to settle arrears before the start of the tournament.
Following the defeat to Madagascar, the government has made strides by paying bonuses owed players ahead of the Sudan game.
In a meeting with the team after defeating Madagascar, Evans Opoku Bobbie said, “The Honorable Minister of Youth & Sports Hon Mustapha Ussif has asked me to encourage you to fight on and qualify for the next stage of the tournament
“The nation is still behind you and we are confident you can make it”
“As a way of motivating you, the government has fulfilled all outstanding entitlements due to the team and we are also ready to redeem all promises when you make it to the next round”.
He further urged the players to put Sunday’s setback behind them and focus on what is ahead of them
“Don’t be discouraged. You have an opportunity to correct what happened the last time”.
“The nation has confidence in you. In life we all make mistakes but what is ahead of us is most important.”
