The Sports Minister, Isaac Asiamah, has expressed concerns over the GH¢63 million (US$14,678,700) being demanded from the ministry’s budget of GH¢46 million (10,717,800) by the Ghana Football Association.
According to Asiamah, the huge amount is what the GFA presented to his office as their budget for the year, covering the various national teams.
Making the revelation at the launch of Ghana’s participation in next year’s Commonwealth Games on Tuesday, the Minister indicated that his office is already faced with financial constraints despite receiving a 100% increment in their allocation from the national budget.
“Let me give you a case of the constraints we have. If you take the budget of one discipline, football for example, we have about 8 national teams for football. Their budget alone is GH¢63 million for this year, that is what they brought to us so you can imagine,” the Minister said.
This means over 30 other federations will struggle if this amount is doled out to the Football Federation this year.

We will soon storm the GFA and put an end to all these mafia F00OLISHNESS. With the fear of FIFA Ban, the Government is just presiding over R0T at the GFA. If this does not stop, there will be a public uprising and an end will be put to this. Let FIFA Ban Ghana forever after all for almost 40 yrs not even Empty Milk Tin has been won by this so called Black Stars. They just good for nothing. We will not sit and watch for the National Resources to be pour down the drain. "...through the blood and toil of our fathers.." was Ghana made; time to preserve what we can in our time. Few people will not appropriate all the resources for themselves forgetting that they have an average of 50 yrs left on the planet earth.
GFA and their Mafias
This was what Nii Lante was fighting against but you went to the vetting committee to yob him on that. They are mafias and expect more from them.
