AAG Gold: Black Queens reject US$ 2,000 bonus

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.
