President of Medeama Sporting Club, Moses Armah Parker, has revealed that members of the Black Stars Management Committee received $50,000 each during Ghana’s participation at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Parker, who serves on the management committee, disclosed the figure in an interview with Medeama FM, explaining that the amount represented half of the appearance fee paid to each Black Stars player.

“Members of the Black Stars Management Committee received only half of the players' appearance fee, meaning each of us received $50,000. There was no per diem or winning bonus for the committee,” Parker said.

Parker was part of the management team appointed by the Ghana Football Association to oversee the administrative and logistical affairs of the senior national team.

The committee was chaired by Randy Abbey, with former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah serving as vice-chairman.

Parker and Samuel Aboabire were assigned responsibilities covering operations and matchday activities.

The management team was also involved in Ghana’s preparations ahead of the tournament, including engagements with stakeholders before the squad travelled for the competition.

Ghana’s campaign at the 2026 World Cup ultimately ended in the Round of 32, with the Black Stars suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Colombia in Kansas City.
