The Government of Ghana has set aside GH₵150 million to support the Black Stars’ campaign ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The allocation was announced on Thursday, November 13, 2025, by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson during the presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement in Parliament.
He framed the investment as part of a wider effort to strengthen the country’s national teams and expand sports development.
Dr Forson noted that consistent government backing has helped fuel recent progress, including the Black Stars’ qualification for next year’s tournament.
"The government’s sustained investment in sports yielded impressive results, with the Black Stars qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” Dr Forson said.
"An amount of GH¢150 million has been allocated for the Black Stars to participate in the World Cup," he added.
The minister also reaffirmed plans to upgrade sports infrastructure and broaden talent development, including the construction of new stadiums in selected regions.
Ghana will discover its group-stage opponents when the World Cup draw takes place in Washington, DC, on December 5.
