In order to have a successful World Cup, the Ghanaian Football Association oversaw an unique award for the first team players.
Ghana competes in the eighth World Cup group in Qatar, along with South Korea, Uruguay, and Portugal.
Ghanaian media claim that the Black Stars team would receive $8.1 million as payment for the group stage, and that amount will increase to $8.7 million if the group advances and makes it to the round of 16.
Players from Ghana will receive $9. 5 million in the case of the quarterfinals, and more than $14 million if the African team advances to the semifinals.
After tying Uruguay 1-1 in the quarterfinals and losing on penalties in a famous match in which Luis Suarez tackled a fatal header in his hand to prevent a goal achieved for Kana and his namesake wasted Gian captain, the penalty kick, the Ghana team was just a few steps away from making history for the African ball in the 2010 South Africa version.
Ghana will receive a motivational bonus of $14 million for reaching the World Cup semifinals.
