Black Queens receive per diems from Sports Ministry ahead of Zambia encounter

The Ministry of Youth and Sports has resolved the issue of outstanding per diems owed to the Black Queens ahead of their 2024 Olympic Games qualifier against Zambia.

The Ghana women’s senior national team had been at the center of attention due to unpaid bonuses from their last three qualifiers.

Earlier reports suggested that the team was considering boycotting the third round of their Olympic qualifier against Zambia due to the unpaid bonuses and per diems.

However, swift action was taken following public outcry, with the Sports Ministry, led by Mustapha Ussif, Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku, and Black Queens Management Committee Chairperson Gifty Oware-Mensah visiting the team in the evening.

Joy Sports has confirmed that the per diems, including the owed ones, have now been cleared, with the unsettled bonuses expected to be paid in the coming hours.

The first leg of the game is scheduled for Friday, February 23, with the return fixture taking place five days later.
