Gifty Oware-Mensah, Chairperson of the Black Queens Management Committee, has assured players that they will receive their due bonuses before their upcoming game against Zambia this month.

Ghana is set to face Zambia in the third round of qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games in a two-legged match, with the first meeting scheduled for February 23.

The Black Queens are striving to qualify for the Olympics for the first time, following their return to the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

Despite their achievements, the players are yet to receive their promised bonuses from the qualifiers, with each player reportedly owed between $7,500 and $10,000.

Oware-Mensah, who is also a GFA Executive Council member, revealed in an exclusive interview with Joy Sports that discussions have been held among the stakeholders to ensure the players are paid before the game.

"For some time now, they [the Black Queens] have been getting their due. The difference is that we are owing Black Queens and Black Princesses and we have already spoken to them," she said.

"Myself, the President of GFA, Kurt Okraku, the Minister [Mustapha Ussif] and the Ministry of Youth and Sports have spoken and they have made promises to us that we are going to get these monies for these girls before we go into our next match.

"We are very hopeful and we believe what the Ministry has said."

Since Nora Hauptle took over as head coach of the Black Queens in 2023, the team has won all but one of their games.
