As part of the FIFA Benefits Programme, clubs that will have their players called up for the 2022 World Cup will receive $10,000 per player for every day at the tournament.
Between the period which the competition starts, November 20, to the end of the group stages, December 2, will be at least 12 days, which means a club could receive at least $120,000 per player.
With this initiative, some Ghanaians have argued it could be a source of funding for some of the local clubs, especially Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, who could have representatives in Otto Addo’s squad to be taken to the Munidla to be staged in Qatar.
In an earlier conversation on Twitter, we asked, “Should the technical team include some local players in the team to Qatar for the monetary benefit?”. If you missed the conversation, you can replay it here:
