Debts of national football team coaches settled – Kofi Adams
The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Mr Kofi Adams, has stated that outstanding payments to some national football team coaches have been cleared.
He made this revelation during a meeting with the leadership of the University of Development Studies at the Sports Ministry ahead of the University’s trip to the World University Football Cup in China in September.
In his address to the educational institution’s leadership, Mr Adams said debts accrued over a four-year period to coaches have been cleared, including those owed to former Black Stars coach, C.K. Akonnor.
“Things are not the way they seem out there; quite a lot of debt have been left on us but just last week we had to pay some of our coaches, some almost four years old debt like the C.K. Akonnor’s and the rest who were all owed.”
In another development, Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku, has expressed optimism about the Black Stars’ surging confidence, following strong performances in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
Recent victories against Mali and Madagascar have significantly boosted Ghana’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup.
Despite the team’s unprecedented failure to qualify for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, marking their first absence in 20 years after going winless in the group stage, Okraku highlights a contrasting narrative in the World Cup Qualifiers. –Citifmonline.com
