Kevin Prince Boateng Breaks Silence Nine Years After Dismissal From Ghana Camp at the World Cup

• Kevin-Prince Boateng has opened up on his World Cup dismissal
• The former Ghana international was sacked from camp during the tournament in 2014
• The Black Stars lost and exited the tournament at the group stage

Retired Ghanaian footballer, Kevin-Prince Boateng has finally disclosed why he was sacked from the Black Stars camp at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The 36-year-old was famously dismissed alongside teammate Sulley Muntari over disciplinary reasons.

However, Boateng claims he was asked to leave because he and Muntari protested against the treatment of players in the camp.

"I got kicked out from the national team and Schalke in the same season," Boateng said on Vibe with FIVE.

"We had a meeting, and I criticised them, and I said, 'They can't treat us like that' because we know how much they make, and they should invest in the organisation [and] give the players the money they deserved."

"They didn't like that, and they kicked me out."

Boateng and Muntari received their dismissal letters on the morning of Ghana's final group game against Portugal.

Ghana lost the game 2-1 after Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late winner, sending the four-time African champions out of the tournament in Brazil, as reported by the BBC.

Muntari called it quits last year while Boateng retired from football in 2023.
