Ghana Football Association president Kwasi Nyantakyi, has given the assurance that his outfit will account for “every penny” accrued from Ghana's participation in the World Cup.
The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) gave Ghana an amount of $14 million being prize money for Ghana’s progression into the quarter final stage of the competition.
The country was guaranteed an automatic $8 million for qualifying for the World Cup, an extra $1 million for qualifying into the round of sixteen and $5 million for progressing into the quarter finals stage of the competition, bringing the total amount to $14 million.
Concerns have been raised about how that money will be disbursed once it is made available to the FA.
At its first post World Cup press briefing on Friday, the GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi allayed fears of misappropriation saying the FA will account for every dollar once the money is paid in August.
He said the FA, together with the Sports Ministry was yet to iron out how the money should be disbursed.
