Black Stars management committee member Alhaji Grusah has confirmed that each of the management committee members received $100,000 as appearance fees for the 2022 World Cup.
The Black Stars played in Group H with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay. They were knocked out of the group.
Grusah believes that the committee deserved every penny.
“I want to ask if it’s a crime for us (the management committee) to take that appearance fee of $100000?” he quizzed on Akoma FM.
“I risked my life to be on a flight from Ghana to Qatar. When we were being attacked in Nigeria, where were those people who are now making noise about the money we took?”
“It’s just some journalists who are only making noise about this, though I agree the money is huge, I think we deserved it.”
“A lot could have happened to us, we left our jobs to serve Ghana, if some of us were to stay back, we could have earned more than that from our various jobs, if it’s a crime, Ghanaians should come for their money.”
“We took the money because we deserved it.”
