Ghana's U17 players will each be paid GHC5,000 for qualifying for the 2017 African Junior Championship.

A source close to the Ministry of Youth and Sports confirmed to Footballghana.com.

The Black Stars drew 0-0 with Ivory Coast on Saturday to advance 3-1 on aggregate after the convincing first leg win in Cape Coast.
