After the home win against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium that saw more than 40 000 fans in attendance, the players were each awarded a winning bonus of 5,000 USD. This reward was a gesture of appreciation for their efforts in securing a crucial three points at home.
It was a thrilling performance from the Black Stars, with Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu, and Ernest Appiah Nuamah scoring the goals for Ghana who failed to qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Things only got better for the team in their emphatic away game against Madagascar on March 24, 2025. Ghana racked up another dominant victory, winning 3-0 with a brace from Thomas Partey, all headers, and a third from star midfielder Mohammed Kudus, with captain of the side Jordan Ayew notching a hat-trick of assists, and obtaining a very high rating in the game.
For this excellent away performance, each player received an increased bonus of 7,000 USD per Wisdom Osei Bonsu's exclusive revelation. The 7,000 USD reward was a clear sign that the state recognizes the value of every win, especially on foreign soil.
As part of the technical team, Head Coach Otto Addo also reaped the benefits of these victories. His reward was even more substantial.

''The winning bonus each player is still at 5 000 USD for home games and 7 000 USD for away matches as victories on the road are harder to get. Head coach Otto Addo gets the double of whatever the players receive as his win bonus.' Wisdom Osei Bonsu said.

Overall, the financial rewards given to Ghana’s national team and technical staff are a testament to the country's commitment to supporting its footballing ambitions.
