Mali players have refused to travel to Ghana for the 2018 Africa Women's Cup of Nations because of unpaid bonuses.

It is reported that the Lady Eagles of Mali will only jet to Ghana when the arrears have been settled.

According to a close source, they were promised a participation fee of 500,000 Francs CFA per a player but have since not been paid.

Mali are drawn in Group A alongside hosts Ghana, Algeria and Cameroon.

They play Cameroon in their opening fixture on Saturday 17 October 2018, at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Local Organizing Committee is expecting the arrivals of Cameroon, Zambia, Nigeria and Mali today (Wednesday).
