Kwesi Nyantakyi is the president of the Ghana FA
The President of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has admitted that they owe the five 2006 FIFA world cup standby players $5000, but not $10,000 as alleged.
Former Black Stars midfielder, Yusif Alhassan Chibsah revealed it last week that the Football governing body owes him and other four players $10000 appearance fee for the competition held in Germany ten years ago.
But the GFA President says they still owe the five players but not $10000 as reported.
"Is true we owe them [the five standby players]. We promised them $5000 each but not $10000," he told Angel FM.
"Even the 23 players were paid $10000 as an appearance."
He concluded, "their $5000 was not budgeted, it was a promise. We will pay them."
The other four standby players include Philemon McCarthy, Aziz Ansah, Baffour Gyan and Baba Adamu.
