There are costs in running a stadium. Fox news must pay towards such costs. Would Fox get the facilities free in America?

It is right to charge a fee. No freebies in running an organization. WAFA is not a charit organization,. Fox TV is a business entity. Why should these two entities use the facilities free ? Please use common sense to assess situations. Your political fanatism is clouding your reasoning.

AFRICANS LIKE EVERYTHING FOR FREE. CHARGING FOR FACILITIES FOR TOURNAMENTS IS THE NORM. WHO IS GOING TO CLEAN UP THE STADIUM AND TAKE CARE OF THE BREAKAGES AFTER THE GAME? WE NEED TO RISE UP OUR HORIZON LITTLE BIT.

There is nothing wrong with Ghana requesting payment for the use of sports facilities in the country. That is the proper way to run things. It costs money to maintain these joints. They must pay for these facilities. There is always money allocated for these. Unless somebody wants to pocket the money allocated.

You should even be happy they didn't use your so called WAFU association as a collateral to go collect a Chinese leverage loan. Massa, country broke okay! You're shocked? They didn't tell you CHANGE has come?

The hosting venues MUST be compensated for all the logistics that comes with such a soccer event. TV rights is a big money business all across the world. Fox makes billions of dollars each year here on the US through sports. They want to use us for free and pocket the revenue that will accrue from this sponsorship. If this man expressing his dismay is not paid how can he be in the position he is in now. Will he do it for free?. Football or soccer is a business. The country must be "paid"

If they were able to swindle Senegal, they cannot do it in Ghana. Things must change, you know. FOX is certainly not going to telecast the matches for free! We need funds to maintain our stadia.

IS THE GAME GOING TO BE FREE OR THEY WILL CHARGE GATE FEES? IF THEY CHARGE GATE FEES THEN THE STADIUM SHOULD GET SOME PERCENTAGE OF THE FEES. CHARGING UPFRONT MEANS WAFU WOULD GET ALL THE PROFITS. THE NSA WILL LOOSE MORE.
