Blackstars Receive Appearance Fee 

The Ghana Football Association, GFA, has announced that President John Mahama has intervened to have the Black Stars World Cup appearance fees paid Wednesday afternoon. 

President Mahama waded into the matter after agitation from the Black Stars players over their appearance fees for the World Cup, which has not been paid since the start of the competition.

In a statement, the GFA noted that the move has brought some assurance to the team. 

Government is pre-financing the payment of the Black Stars appearance fees which will be reimbursed when FIFA’s prize-money for Ghana’s participation in the World Cup is paid after the tournament in Brazil.
 
The statement assured Ghanaians that, the Black Stars are in high spirits ahead of tomorrow’s last Group G match against Portugal.
