Black Queens reject US$ 2,000 each as reward package for winning All Africa Games gold
The Black Queens have rejected the US$ 2,000 bonus for each player for winning gold at the just ended All Africa Games in Brazzaville, Congo.
In addition, they are demanding that all their outstanding bonuses totaling about US$ 10,000 each accrued from playing in the All Africa Games and Olympic qualifiers.
The team arrived on Sunday morning and is expecting to hold a meeting with Sports Minister Dr. Mustapha Ahmed over their remuneration at the MPlaza Hotel in Accra before breaking camp.
“As their name suggest, they are queens and should be treated with respect but what is happening with regard to their bonuses, leaves much to be desired. The girls are so disappointed to say the least and I hope the meeting with the sector minister will resolve the issue and give them what they duly deserve,” Chairperson of the Queens Management Committee Leanier Addy told Graphic Sports.
The Queens claim they were only informed about the bonus scheme until after they had reached the final.
Do you think the US$ 2000 reward package for each Black Queens players is inadequate after winning a historic gold at the 2015 All Africa Games in Brazzaville, Congo. Let's have your say in our comments box below:

I will call them stupid if they accept that amount.what have the black stars achieved so far but they are earning more than they deserve. don't touch the money until every kobo is paid. dont even go for Amy negotiation with them. if they don't have money then they should cut down the bonuses of the stars n pay u. or they should go n borrow it for u. WELL DONE OUR QUEENS

For the sake of fairness, our Queens should be given better bonus. I dont want to make any comparison but our ladies have really made us proud. the 2000 dollars is a slap in the face. GFA sit up and recognize that women soccer is equal to male soccer.
