The Government of Ghana has announced an allocation of GHS 150 million to support the Black Stars’ preparation and participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to take place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The budgetary provision was revealed during the presentation of the 2026 National Budget, highlighting the administration’s commitment to strengthening the national team ahead of the global tournament.
According to officials, the allocation covers key areas such as training camps, international friendlies, logistics, technical support, player welfare, and competitive preparatory programs. The Ministry of Youth and Sports emphasized that the investment is aimed at ensuring the Black Stars deliver an improved performance, following their group-stage exit in the 2022 World Cup.
The government believes that supporting the national team at this level is essential not only for sporting success but also for national pride, economic benefits, and international visibility. Stakeholders within the sports fraternity have expressed optimism, urging transparent use of the funds and early planning to avoid the last-minute challenges that have historically hampered Ghana’s World Cup campaigns.
As anticipation builds among fans, the Black Stars are expected to begin an intensified preparation program early next year, with the goal of securing a strong squad and competitive advantage ahead of the global tournament.
