Minister of Sports and Recreation Kofi Adams has revealed that members of the Black Stars Management Committee will receive rewards following Ghana’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking to the media, the minister explained that the bonuses will be sourced from FIFA’s financial package to qualified nations, ensuring that the payments do not burden the state.
“When you qualify, you will earn money from FIFA, which you can pay the Management Committee members out of that, which will not be a burden on the government,” he stated.
“I believe the Management Committee members have done very well, and I know they will be rewarded,” he added.
Mr. Adams also disclosed plans to review and streamline the administrative structure of national teams in Ghana.
“Elsewhere, it is only one Management Committee for all national teams. Going into the future, I believe we can explore that model so that we will have one Management Committee overseeing the various national teams,” he noted.
The current Black Stars Management Committee is chaired by Dr. Randy Abbey, with former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah serving as vice-chairman. Other members include Samuel Aboabire, Moses Armah, and Dr. Richard Nsenkyire.
The Black Stars will learn their group-stage opponents for the 2026 World Cup on December 5, when FIFA conducts the official tournament draw.
