After beating their Nigerian counterparts in the African Games women’s football gold medal game, Ghana’s under 20 side the Black Princesses have finally received their bonus payment.
According to Joy Sports each member of the team has been paid the equivalent of $3,000 in Ghanaian Cedis.
The Princesses beat Nigeria’s Falconets 1-0 to clinch gold at African Games back in March in Accra.
During the quadrennial competition, the Sports Ministry had announced a bonus structure, with gold medalists set to receive $3,000, while silver and bronze medalists were to receive $2,000 and $1,000 respectively.
However, a day after their victory, the Black Princesses were informed that this promise did not extend to team sports.
This sparked media outrage, prompting the Sports Ministry to honor the initial agreement of $3,000.
Despite this payment, the Black Princesses are still awaiting their bonuses for qualifying for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Promised $6,000 each before the African Games, the team has yet to receive this amount.
