Black Queens, Princesses and Maidens to stage protest over unpaid bonuses

Published on: 16 December 2016

The three female national teams have decided to embark on a massive demonstration over their unpaid bonuses.

The Black Queens, Black Princesses and Black Maidens have not received some monies due them in qualifying and participating in international competitions.

The Black Queens finished third and won bronze at this year's African Women's Championship. The team are yet to receive outstanding bonuses of $US25, 000.

The two junior sides, the Black Maidens and the Princesses are owed monies for their qualification to the FIFA U17 and U20 Women’s World Cup respectively.

“The President and his Minister has disappointed us. You remember he ordered us to go home when we were fighting for our money last year that when he comes he will call us but he never did. This time our management said our budget has been approved yet we have not been paid, so we will go on demonstration and fight for what rightly belongs to us,” one of the players told Ghanasportsonline.com.
