The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that it will address recent comments made by the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, regarding the Black Stars’ budget for the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, September 2, 2025, the GFA said it would provide “comprehensive clarifications” to the Minister’s remarks, but only after the national team completes its immediate assignments against Chad and Mali.
“As the custodian of Ghana football, the GFA will, in due course, provide clarifications to the issues raised,” the statement noted.
For now, the Association has called for unity and focus as the Black Stars prepare for their double-header — first against Chad on Thursday, September 4, at 1:00 p.m., and then against Mali on Monday, September 8, at 7:00 p.m.
“The Black Stars require the unflinching support of all Ghanaians as they prepare to navigate these important encounters. The unity and commitment of our supporters have always been the team’s greatest strength, and we urge the nation to keep this spirit alive,” it added.
The GFA also expressed gratitude to the public for their patience and backing, assuring that a full response to the Ministry’s statements will be delivered after the Mali fixture.
“Once the match against Mali is concluded, the GFA will make its comprehensive remarks regarding the Ministry’s statements. We extend our sincere appreciation to all Ghanaians for their understanding and their continued support for the Black Stars and all our national teams,” the statement concluded.
