Ghana paid $80,000 in fines to FIFA for yellow cards received at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This is according to Henry Asante Twum, the communications director of the Ghana Football Association.
In a recent interview with Angel TV, Henry Asante Twum revealed Ghana had to pay $10,000 for every caution they picked in Qatar.
“We paid $80,000 for yellow cards acquisition at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar,” he said.
Alidu Seidu (2x), Kamaldeen Sulemana, Daniel Amartey, Tariq Lamptey, Inaki Williams, Andre Ayew, and Mohammed Kudus all received yellow cards during the tournament.
The Black Stars picked up eight yellow cards from three games at the tournament as they failed to make it past the group stage.
Ghana’s only win came against South Korea while they suffered defeats to Portugal and Uruguay.
