Chairman of Parliament’s Select Committee on Sports, Ernest Norgbey, has revealed that some GH¢150 million has been allocated for the Black Stars preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
According to him, the funds are intended to ensure the team gets the best of preparation for the tournament to be hosted in USA, Canada and Mexico.
“Well, when you talk of funding, the government has allocated about GH¢150 million for the preparation as we speak now.” he told CitiSports.
Mr. Norgbey emphasized that although FIFA is expected to provide financial support, those funds may not be available early enough to cover the immediate costs associated with preparation for the tournament.
“but we still need funding because, yes, we know that FIFA will be giving us some amount of money, but that amount of money will not come before even the preparation” he noted.
While it remains unclear what specific aspects of the preparation the funds will be used for, the team is scheduled to face Germany and Austria in the next international window as part of preparations for the tournament.
