According to the Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, Ghana spent a total of $80,000 for yellow card accumulation at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
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.
In a recent interview, 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,” told Angel TV.
Alidu Seidu (twice), Kamaldeen Sulemana, Daniel Amartey, Tariq Lamptey, Inaki Williams, Andre Ayew and Mohammed Kudus all received yellow cards during the tournament last year.
