Former management member of Asante Kotoko Football Club, Nana Kwame Dankwah has taken a swipe at President Akufo-Addo for rewarding the Black Satellites team with $350,000 for clinching the 2021 African U-20 Cup of Nations title in Mauritania.
The Black Satellites won the trophy for the fourth time in their history following a 2-0 win over debutants Uganda on the country’s 64th birthday.
On Tuesday, the playing body, the technical team and the management team were hosted at the Jubilee House to present the trophy to the president.
President Akufo-Addo announced during the meeting that each member of the team will receive $10,000 He, however, revealed that $5,000 will be made available to them now.
President Akufo-Addo also personally gave four outstanding members of the team $5,000 each. They are coach Karim Zito, captain Daniel Afriyie – whose two goals in the final secured the trophy, Ibrahim Danland – who was adjudged the best goalkeeper and the competition’s best player, Fatawu Isshaku.
