Ghana will spend a little over US$14 million on the Black Stars should they reach the semi-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the sports ministry told Parliament on Friday (4 November 2022).
The tournament kicks off on 20 November 2022.
Ghana has been housed in Group H alongside Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea. The Black Stars begin their campaign against Portugal on 24 November 2022.
The Youth and Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif in an address to Parliament said: “Our group stage appearance will cost us an estimated US$8,166, 200. With our sights firmly fixed on progressing through the knockout stages, I am delighted to give you more good news.
“Progressing from the group stage to the round of 16 will increase the prize money from 9 million dollars to 13 million dollars. At this stage, our expenditure will increase to US$8,792,600. When we progress from round of 16 to the quarter final, the prize money will increase from 13 million to 17 million dollars.”
