Ghana football officials face calls for transparency over Carlos Queiroz contract

Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation to publicly disclose the contract terms for head coach Carlos Queiroz. Agyemang-Badu argued that fans cannot fairly evaluate Queiroz’s tenure without knowing the specific length of his contract and the performance targets set for him.

Following Ghana’s exit from the World Cup round of 32 against Colombia, the GFA confirmed on September 2, 2026, that Queiroz would continue leading the national team. However, the specific details of this new arrangement remain undisclosed.

Reports indicate that contract negotiations involved Queiroz requesting greater control over his technical staff, specifically seeking to bring in additional foreign personnel. Discussions also reportedly touched upon financial terms, including the coach’s salary and the costs associated with his requested backroom team.
