Sports minister Kofi Adams (L) and Black Stars head coach Otto Addo (R)
The government, through the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, has settled unpaid salaries owed to both current and previous Black Stars technical team members.
The salary arrears accumulated between October 2024 and March 2025 for current head coach Otto Addo and his technical staff have been duly paid to motivate them.
The salary backlog for previous Black Stars coaches like Chris Hughton and Charles Kwabena Akonnor, together with other assistant coaches George Boateng, Didi Dramani, David Duncan, and Maxwell Konadu, has been cleared successfully.
The action was taken following a robust audit and inter-agency coordination to ensure a fair and transparent disbursement process.
It was also noted that the initiative forms part of sports minister Kofi Adams’ efforts to clear the backlog of salaries for Ghanaian coaches who served the nation by playing a role in the Black Stars technical team.
This comes at a good moment as the Black Stars will be hoping to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup, having topped their group with a few matches left to conclude the campaign.
