Ghana and Leganes forward Kwabena Owusu has revealed that each player in the Black Stars team received $20,000 as appearance fees at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
Owusu says no player was given $80,000 as appearance as it was widely speculated by the local media following their poor performance at the tournament.
However, following the Minister’s presentation of the expenditure at the competition, there’s been pressure on Hon. Isaac Asiamah to give a break down of the expenses.
The statement of expenditure did not capture appearance fees, which has angered Ghanaians, who believe funds were misappropriated at the tournament.
”We (Black Stars players) did not get $80,000 as appearance fee, our appearance fee was $20,000,” he told Starr Fm.
Ghana were eliminated at the round of 16 on penalties by Tunisia after spending $4.5 million in Egypt.
