Speaking in an interview with Starr FM, Asante-Twum stated that the players did not receive any winning bonus since they failed to win any of their group stage games and were only paid for their appearance at the competition.
“The players were paid $20,000 as appearance fee, they didn’t earn any bonus because they did not win a single game.”
