Media reports suggest that government have rejected the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) budget worth $5.4 million which is to cater for the Black Stars’ participation in the 2017 Afcon in Gabon.
The budget includes winning bonuses, per-diems, accommodation, food and transportation among many others.
But government has raised eye-brows as to the huge amounts expended on Black Stars games alone during tournaments.
These enormous expenditures of the Black Stars, are touted to be the reasons for the seeming financial neglect of the other national football teams.
The Stars are due for a non-resident camping on the 28 of December in Ghana ahead of their camping in Dubai before they proceed to Gabon for the tournament.

Are these GFA people correct at all? Do they think we are ***barred word*** as Ghanaians? Why go to the Government for money and turn around to cry wolf when asked to account for it? Is the men's team any better than our women and girls who also participate in world and africa football tournaments? Why don't we pay them the same amount of money? We need to purge these financial leeches from our football administration system once and for all. Even if we dont participate, we lose nothing as a nation.
Stup*d and non-serious country full of sh*t officials. Going to a tournament with a budget more than price money. Shame on you Nyantakyi.
How much does the winner of the tournament receive from Caf then how come the budget for the tournament is $5.4 million are we a serious Country
Why camping in Dubai? the Tournament is being held in Africa so why do they want to camp in Dubai? Please Mr. president, make sure you reject their budget again. is just waste of tax payers money. they are not bringing anything home yet, they want to spend our money.
Why 5m dollars for a tournament? Not even UK gov will spend that kind of money. Corrupt Nyantakyi
