Five Ghanaian local clubs are set to receive significant financial rewards for their contributions to the Ghana national team, the Black Stars, at the 2022 World Cup.
The total compensation is expected to surpass $560,000, providing a much-needed boost to these clubs.
FIFA is scheduled to announce the details of the monetary allocations for all 837 players who participated in the prestigious tournament in Qatar on Thursday, as reported by Joy Sports.
The aim of this compensation is to recognize the clubs’ efforts in developing and nurturing the players who represented Ghana on the global stage.
The five Ghanaian clubs that will benefit from this financial boost are Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko, Steadfast FC, King Faisal, and Dreams FC.
Although specific figures have not been disclosed yet, it is understood that Hearts of Oak will receive the highest amount, followed by Asante Kotoko and Steadfast FC. King Faisal and Dreams FC are expected to receive an equal share of the compensation.
Initially, it was reported that each player participating in the World Cup would receive $10,000 for each official day spent in Qatar. However, the forthcoming report is expected to reveal an adjusted figure of $10,950 as the actual amount.
The compensation will first be disbursed to the respective member associations and then passed on to the beneficiary clubs.
