Each Black Stars B player will receive $3,000 if they secure a spot at the 2018 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) tournament to be held in Kenya, Ghanacrusader.com gathers.

Ghana’s home based side will have to overcome their Burkinabe counterparts in the second leg encounter after holding the Local Stallions to a 2-2 draw in the first leg in Ouagadougou last Saturday.

The Black Stars will have to avoid defeat to secure a spot at next year’s tournament but the Burkinabe are poised to upset the odds this time round after suffering elimination back in 2011 at the hands of Ghana.

The game is expected to kick off at 15:00 GMT at the Babayara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
