Black Queens should stop their training boycott because to unpaid bonuses, Andre Ayew says.
Andre Ayew, the former captain of the Black Stars, has urged the Black Queens to start practicing again after the players allegedly skipped sessions to protest unpaid incentives.
Recalling his own experiences with delayed compensation when playing for the national team, Ayew spoke to the team and expressed empathy for their predicament.
“I understand how you feel because I’ve experienced unpaid bonuses,” Ayew remarked. “Things will be finished, but sometimes they get delayed.”
Despite the financial losses, the former Al Sadd forward urged the players to remain professional and concentrate on their training.
“You’ve made the country proud, and your effort doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep going — the rewards will come,” he added.
The Black Queens’ protest over unpaid bonuses form the 2025 WAFCON tournament, which they finish third.
In the second leg of the 2026 WAFCON, the Black Queens will play Egypt. They won the first leg handily and now have a 3-0 aggregate lead.
