Kofi Adams is the Minister of Sports and Recreation
The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has announced a proposed budget of GH¢ 146,268,659.80 for the Black Stars as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer.
The allocation, just under $14 million, is designed to cover all aspects of the team’s participation, including training camps, logistics, player bonuses, technical staff expenses, and tournament-related activities.
The Ministry indicated that this budget assumes a full-competition scenario, contingent on Ghana advancing through all stages of the tournament.
A more detailed breakdown of expenditures and funding arrangements will be shared as preparations intensify in the lead-up to the World Cup.
In the meantime, the Black Stars will use the March international break to play friendly matches against Germany and Austria, followed by a fixture against Mexico in May as part of their build-up to the tournament.
Ghana, drawn in Group L, will open their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17, then face England on June 23, before concluding the group stage against Croatia on June 27.
After consecutive group-stage exits in recent tournaments, the Black Stars are focused on making a strong impression at the global event, which the USA, Canada, and Mexico will co-host.
