Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku on Monday morning visited the Black Queens camp at the Erata Hotel to hold discussions with the players amid the ongoing dispute over unpaid bonuses.
Sources close to the team indicate that the meeting was aimed at resolving the standoff that has disrupted preparations for the second leg of Ghana’s 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier against Egypt.
The Black Queens are reportedly considering a return to training later this afternoon after initially staging a boycott in protest over outstanding bonuses. Each player is owed $9,500 from their 2024 WAFCON campaign in Morocco.
The development follows reports that Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams allegedly told the players they were free to leave if they refused to play, remarks that heightened tensions within the camp.
The GFA President’s visit is seen as an attempt to calm nerves and ensure Ghana’s participation in Tuesday’s crucial qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium. Ghana holds a three-goal advantage from the first leg in Ismailia and will advance to the next round with a positive result.
