The Ghana Blackstars squad will pocket $30,000 each as qualification bonus if they advance to the next round of AFCON 2023.
The Ghana Football Association together with the Ministry of Sports employs a system where the team is paid qualification bonus instead of the usual winning bonus. With this system even if the team fails to win any of their three group game but miraculously manages to qualify to the next round, they get $30,000.
Under this system, the qualification bonus consolidates the potential winnings from three group game victories, previously valued at $10,000 each.
As a result, the entire 27-man squad and their technical team stand to gain $30,000 individually if the Blackstars successfully progress to the knockout stage, whether as the 2nd team in Group B or one of the fortunate 3rd placed teams.
