I don't subscribe to team officials earning equal or more than players – Kofi Adams

Ghana’s Minister-designate for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has expressed concerns over the fairness of awarding management committee members the same or even higher bonuses than players.

Speaking on Joy Sports, Adams criticized the practice, arguing that while officials contribute to a team's success, players—who put in the physical effort on the field—should be the primary recipients of financial rewards.

He questioned the fairness of a system where players who play a full 90-minute game receive a reward, while those who didn’t play at all may receive the same or more.

While recognizing the value of officials, Adams believes their compensation should not overshadow the players’ earnings.

His comments reflect ongoing concerns about bonus distribution in Ghanaian football, especially during international tournaments. Adams is awaiting approval to replace Mustapha Ussif as Sports Minister.
