The Chairman of the Select Committee on Sports in Parliament, Ernest Norgbey, has revealed that an amount of GH¢150 million has been allocated for the Black Stars’ preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
The lawmaker stated that the money is intended to ensure the team gets the best preparation for the tournament to be hosted in the 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.
He noted that FIFA’s financial support may arrive too late to cover the tournament’s immediate preparation costs.
“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 said.
