Former Ghana Midfielder Explains Why Black Stars Players Have to be Paid For International Assignments

• Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has revealed that Black Stars players have to be paid for playing for Ghana
• The former Ghana international insists the players suffer various injuries during international assignments
• The ex-Udinese player retired from international football in 2021 after almost a decade with the national team

Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has disclosed that players of the Black Stars deserve to be paid for playing for Ghana.

The former Udinese and Ghana player believes paying players for their services help deal with the unexpected cost of injuries.

Agyemang-Badu who retired from international football in 2021 indicated most players play for their love for the country but that has to be compensated for.

“It troubles us a lot when we don’t get what is due us because we have the passion to represent the nation,” Agyemang-Badu said, as quoted by Pulse.

“It’s always a privilege to play for Ghana because where I’m coming from, the nation has really helped me to get some opportunities in life.

"It is not like we don’t have passion and we’re always money conscious. I’ve had several scars on my body playing for the national side than for my club. Mostly I treat the injuries myself with no insurance cover. I don’t know if we have it and I never benefited from it.

“The last injury I had from the African Cup I went back to Udinese and had it treated. So if I represent my country despite being a privilege, getting injuries, and going back to my club for treatment, I don’t think we deserve to be told not to go for the monies we think it’s good for us. That is troublesome,” he added.
