The Ministry of Youth and Sports is facing a major financial crisis as Black Stars coaches have not been paid for two months (June & July), FootballMadeInGhana can exclusively report.<\/p>\n
Coach Kwesi Appiah, Ibrahim Tanko, Maxwell Konadu, Richard Kingston and Stephen Appiah are yet to receive their financial entitlements over a month after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.<\/p>\n
This latest development comes as a surprise per the breakdown of the AFCON budget provided by the Sports Minister on the floor of parliament.<\/p>\n
Mr. Asiamah revealed that a humongous amount of $4.6 million was spent during the continental showpiece.<\/p>\n
Of this amount, an excess of $1M was spent on winning bonuses alone. So it begs the question really, how is the Ministry struggling to pay the coaches?<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Management of Nduom Sports Stadium and Coconut Groove Hotel are also on the heels of the cash-strapped Sports Ministry claiming a cost of ?430k incurred during the 2018 Africa Women\u2019s AFCON.<\/p>\n
The manager of the companies, PHILIP LUD said they have written to the Ministry to settle the debt but to no avail.<\/p>\n
The two entities could turn attention to the court soon to address their grievances.<\/p>\n
