Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has disclosed a $1.2 million budget for Ghana’s last two fixtures in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers scheduled for October.

The Black Stars will face the Central African Republic away before hosting Comoros in their decisive Matchday 9 and 10 encounters.

Addressing the press on Monday, Mr Adams explained that $733,000 has been earmarked for the away clash in Casablanca against the Central African Republic, while $387,000 has been set aside for the home game in Accra.

“The two-match engagement carries a total estimated cost of $1.2 million, broken down as $733,000 for the away game in Casablanca against Central African Republic and $387,000 for the home game against Comoros in Accra,” said the Member of Parliament for Buem Constituency.

He further noted that fuel expenses have been excluded from the budget, with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) assuming responsibility for those costs.

Ghana will lock horns with the Central African Republic at Stade El Abdi on Wednesday, October 8, before wrapping up their qualifying campaign against Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 12.
