AFCON 2019: Ghana's president restores US$10,000 winning bonus for Black Stars By Sampson Adedeji In order to encourage and motivate Ghana's senior men national team Black Stars, the country president Nana Akufo Addo has restored the initial USD 10,000 winning bonus for the team. It would be recalled that the NPP government took a decision to slash the winning bonus by 50% to US$ 5,000 during their campaign at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon. The decision was reversed on Thursday after the president had a meeting with the team skipper Asamoah Gyan and his assistant Andre Ayew. The motive behind the decision is to motivate the team, so they can clinch the trophy after 37 years of wait. Ghana will face the Harambee Stars of Kenya on Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium to decide who top Group F of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
