Winning bonus & appearance fees: There’s always an interest to increase because the leaders are part – Kwabena Agyapong
Former Ace sports sports journalist, Kwabena Agyapong has said that there’s always a strong will to increase the incentives of the national team players because the handlers of the team also benefits from honorarium.
The former press secretary of the erstwhile president’ Kuffour’s administration reckons incentives at the national teams should not be motivating factor for Ghanaian players to play for the country therefore finds it more strange about the issue of the appearnces fees and bonuses of the national teams attracting the most headlines in the local media.
According to him, in other serious football countries, there isnt much fuss about national team players winning bonuses where these monies are calculated and given back in charity.
He suggested that it will be more honouring if national team players would give back to the local teams they played by donating a good chunk of their appearance fees to these local clubs that are struggling financially.
“If they are greaful and alway remember where they are coming from, they will be taking some of these monies back to the local teams they played as a token of appraciation.
There’s an interest to always increase these monies because the leaders in charge are also part of the people who receive these monies.
Let’s turn more attention and focus to the local game. They should colloborate with the media for the media to give a good exposure of the game by creating a very good image in minds of the people” He said.
