The\u00a0Ghana\u00a0Supporters Union has confirmed that its members received $400 each, but clarified that it wasn\u2019t due to threats to boycott their support for the\u00a0Black Stars.<\/strong><\/p>\nAbraham Nkansah, speaking at a press conference in Abidjan on Wednesday morning refuted media reports suggesting that the supporters were lured with the amount to prevent a supposed threat of boycotting their support for the Black Stars in the 2023\u00a0Africa Cup of Nations\u00a0(AFCON) ahead of their next game against\u00a0Egypt.<\/p>\n
Ghana\u2019s loss to\u00a0Cape Verde\u00a0in the first game of the tournament sparked frustration among fans, leading to criticisms and speculations.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Ghana Supporters Union\u00a0emphasised that the funds were not an attempt to dissuade a boycott but a standard allocation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about a particular media having it that we the supporters boycotted to show up for Ghana\u2019s game against Egypt, threatening to get back home to Ghana and when we started the threatening, the ministry gave\u00a0us\u00a0$400. But that is not true because we have been taken good care of by the ministry in terms of\u00a0food\u00a0and everything from day one. Also the following day, after getting our rooms we were given $400 each so we don\u2019t know where this news is coming from,\u201d Abraham Nkansah conveyed to 3News on the sidelines of the conference.<\/p>\n
He further emphasised the commitment of the supporters to cheer the team on in their next clash against Egypt.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are okay over here and you can ask the rest of the supporters team,\u201d he added reaffirming the supporters\u2019 commitment to cheering the team on in their next clash against Egypt.<\/p>\n
Ghana face Egypt on Thursday in a crucial match as both teams seek their first win in the ongoing tournament.<\/p>\n
