The minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams says the government is yet to receive official documentation from the Ghana Football Association regarding the salary structure of newly appointed Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz.
Addressing a question from ghanaiantimes.com.gh journalist at the press launch of Ghana House ahead of the commonwealth games in Glasglow, the Sports Minister explained that discussions on the coach’s salary package cannot be concluded until the necessary documents are submitted by the Football Association.
“I haven’t received the documentation from the FA. So once we receive the documentation, then we will know what is involved and what is not involved,” he said.
Mr. Adams noted that issues surrounding taxes are sometimes handled differently depending on the agreement between the ministry and the Ghana Football Association.
“Mostly the tax part, sometimes it is the FA that pays or the ministry pays the tax, and the person has a standard figure,” he added.
The Minister’s comments come amid growing public interest in the financial details of the Black Stars’ new technical setup ahead of upcoming international competitions.
Former Black Stars coach Otto Addo was reported to have earned a monthly salary believed to be around 50,000 US dollars during his time with the national team.
However, the government is yet to disclose the terms and conditions tied to Carlos Queiroz’s reported appointment.
Meanwhile, Ghana continues preparations for upcoming international assignments, including the friendlies and major continental tournaments, as the Black Stars seek to rebuild confidence and improve performances on the international stage.

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
