A budget of $1.12 million has been allocated by the Ministry of Sports and Recreation for Black Stars’ pivotal October 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying round.
The Black Stars’ hopes of qualifying for the global championship will be determined by their matches against Comoros and the Central African Republic on Matchdays 9 and 10.
Sports Minister Kofi Adams stated during a press conference on Monday, September 29, that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) had provided a proposal that was “within an acceptable range” and that the Ministry did not need to make any changes.
“The Ministry did not need to add any comments because the FA submitted a budget within an acceptable range,” Kofi Adams stated.
In accordance with proper process, he clarified, the Ministry sent the estimates to the Office of the President on September 19, after the GFA formally submitted them on September 18, 2025.
The Minister claims that the budget contains $387,000 for the home game against Comoros in Accra and $733,000 for the away game against the Central African Republic in Casablanca.
“The estimated total cost of the two-match engagement is $1.12 million, which is divided into $733,000 for the away game in Casablanca and $387,000 for the home game in Accra,” he continued.
Ghana will face the Central African Republic at Stade El Abdi on Wednesday, October 8, before hosting Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 12, in their final qualifier.
