Ghana’s Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has disclosed that members of the Black Stars management committee will receive a combined $310,000 as honorarium for the team’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking to Parliament's Select Committee on Sports, the Minister explained that the amount forms part of the overall budget presented for Ghana’s campaign at the tournament.
“There are honorarium for some other officials and officers including the management team for the team's participation in the tournament. That amounts to $310,000.
"In all, the total budget requested from the Ghana Football Association for the Black Stars' participation in the 2026 World Cup came to $13,776,965,” Mr Adams said.
The management committee is chaired by Randy Abbey and includes former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah, Greater Accra Regional Football Association Chairman Samuel Aboabri, Medeama SC owner Moses Armah Parker, and Richard Duah Nsenkyire, who is CEO of Samartex 1996 FC.
The honorarium allocation is separate from player bonuses and other operational expenses already outlined as part of the broader $13.7 million budget for the tournament.
Ghana have been drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England and Croatia.
The Black Stars will begin their campaign against Panama in Toronto on 17 June, before facing England on 23 June and Croatia on 27 June.
The Ghana Football Association has announced Bryant University in the United States as the team’s base camp for the duration of the tournament.
The 2026 World Cup will be hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
