Black Stars management committee members deserved the $100,000 appearance fee at World Cup – Alhaji Grusah

Black Stars management committee member, Alhaji Grusah has confirmed that members of the committee received a whopping $100,000 as an appearance fee.

According to him, every member of the committee deserved what they received at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

“I want to ask if it's a crime for us (the management committee) to take that appearance fee of $100,000?

“I risked my life to be on a flight from Ghana to Qatar. When we were being attacked in Nigeria, where were those people who are now making noise about the money we took?

“It's just some journalists who are only making noise about this, though I agree the money is huge, I think we deserved it,” Alhaji Grusah told Akoma FM in an interview.

The veteran football administrator added, “A lot could have happened to us, we left our jobs to serve Ghana, if some of us were to stay back, we could have earned more than that from our various jobs, if it's a crime, Ghanaians should come for their money. We took the money because we deserved it.

At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Black Stars of Ghana failed to advance to the knockout stage.

The Stars lost two matches and won one against South Korea in Group H.
