The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, says an amount of $860,000 for the Ghana Black Stars’ World Cup qualifier against Chad in N’Djamena has been approved.
The Minister revealed that the Ghana Football Association’s submitted budget was $1 million, but it was cut to the approved amount.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, the Minister said, “The estimate submitted for Match Day 7 was over $1 million.”
“After review, the Ministry approved about $860k. The ticket for players and officials, we have a flat unit for all players and officials, but some spend more, while others spend less.”
“The flat amount was $6,000 per ticket for all 28 players and officials. Flight tickets presented to the Sports Ministry are always higher than what is required. Since I took over, the Ministry has reviewed and even used alternative means to buy the tickets.”
Ghana is expected to face Chad at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno on September 4, 2025.
They will later return to Ghana to host Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 8.
