The Black Queens have called off their planned demonstration against the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports over unpaid bonuses and allowances.
The decision was reversed after a meeting between the players, officials of the FA and ministry. Speaking to Kumasi based OTEC FM, Black Queens defender Linda Eshun revealed the officials of the FA called on them to relax and meet the Sports Ministry who has promised to meet them on Thursday to satisfy their demands.
“We were asked to calm down and suspend our demonstration so we meet the FA and Sports minister to discuss the problem.” She said.
“We are looking forward to meeting them tomorrow and if we are not paid, we will take the next step.”
Team captain Elizabeth Addo and five other members Rosemary Ampem, Faiza Ibrahim, Nana Ama Asantewaa, Patricia Mantey and Fafali Dumeshi were present.
Ghana’s senior national women team had wanted to hit the streets on Thursday over accumulated bonuses dating back to 2015 All Africa Games when they won gold.
