The Black Queens beat Guinea and Benin en route to reaching this stage of the qualifiers. However, the players are looking to snub the clash against the Copper Queens due to unsettled bonuses.

According to reports, there was a lengthy meeting held at the team's hotel on Tuesday night following their return from training.

Nora Hauptle's women are owed bonuses for three rounds of qualifiers across all competitions since the Swiss trainer took over the club.

The team has played 11 games under Hauptle with eight of them being competitive games which includes qualifiers for the Olympic Games and the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.

The games include two meetings each against Guinea, Rwanda, Benin and Namibia.

They have been paid only for the qualifier against Guinea with the other three yet to be settled.

For a tie, each player is expected to be paid $2,500 which leaves the three unpaid bonuses amounting to $7,500.

Prior to the team regrouping ahead of the game against Zambia, there were assurances from the Ghana Football Association that the Sports Ministry had promised to pay the team.
