Published on: 09 March 2011

Ghana players will earn a whopping US$400,000 if they win the matches against Congo and England later this month.

The Black Stars will earn US$15,000 each if they win both matches.

The players will receive US$10,000 each if they defeat Congo and will take home US$5,000 for the England game as the latter is a friendly.

With coach Goran Stevanovic considering calling between 25 to 30 players for the two matches, many players will be laughing to the bank if they win.

The Black Stars will play Congo in Brazzaville on 26 March in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

They will also face England three days later in an international friendly in Wembley.

The massive winning bonus apart,  a victory against Congo will keep Ghana in pole position for a place at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

With the power of the English media and the Premier League, a Black Stars win over England will give Ghanaians massive bragging rights.
