Asante Kotoko, a powerhouse club in Ghana, stands to gain from FIFA’s goodwill after defender Danlad Ibrahim was called up to the Black Stars in the nick of time for the next World Cup in Qatar.
Jojo Wollacot and Richard Ofori, the Black Stars’ goalkeeping tandem, have been ruled out of the competition only seven days before the commencement of the mundial in Asia.
Because of this, Ghana’s national team coach Otto Addo has called up a former goalie from the Ghana U-20 team to compete.

When the winter’s FIFA World Cup is held in Qatar, the governing body of the sport will hand out more than $200 million to the clubs whose players are competing.

As expected, the sport’s international governing body announced the specifics of its club benefits plan, including the $209 million that has been allocated for the program.
According to FIFA’s projections, each player will get $10,000 for each day he stays with his national team at the World Cup.

Since this is Danlad Ibrahim’s first time playing in the World Cup, his presence will bring Asante Kotoko a daily income of $10,000.
And the minimum number of days a team could stay at Qatar is 11 days. So, even if Ghana fails to qualify from the group stage, Asante Kotoko will get a minimum of $120,000 from Danlad’s World Cup appearance.
As a reminder, Ghana is housed in Group H alongside Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea. The 2022 FIFA World Cup will commence on Sunday, November 20, 2022.
