Former captain of Ghana’s national U20 female team, Kate Adu Agyemang is calling on government to pay bonuses owed the payers dating back seven years ago.
The former Black Princesses captain, who is currently based in the United States took to social media to demand the unpaid bonuses.
Adu Agyemang was a member of the team that qualified for the World Cup in Papua New Guinea 2016, but the qualification bonuses are yet to be settled in full.
Out of the $20,000 owed the team, only $4000 has been paid and Adu Agyemang who is retired says she and her teammates need the rest of the money.
“Right now, we are trying to help ourselves. We have no one. In 2020, we wrote petitions but we have not heard back from the GFA or the Sports Ministry,” she began.
“We have waited for so long. It’s been 7 years. Please pay us our money. If we were your children, would you do this to us?” She quizzed.
“If I have to dedicate myself to something for 7 years and still not paid, then what’s the point?
“I’m not playing soccer anymore because there’s nothing in there for me. So please, the monies owed us are the only resources that can get our lives back on track. Some of my colleagues have stopped playing because they can’t even buy football boots.”
