  • D. Sowah, La 7 years ago

    It is not easy to comment on something you do not know the details for. I for one would have wish the detail is made known in order to ascertain where the GFA is justifiable or not. Take a look.

  • E. A. ADU GYAMFI 7 years ago

    The ministry has made a good decision. The players themselves are richer, and if they are patriotic, they will sponsor themselves. Ghana is broke, we need money for important things like implementing the "one district, one f ...

    One thing I'll miss about the NDC is how they used nii lante to torment the FA. Wish there's a way for him to continue to be there. I always maintain that the government should stop the black stars from participating in inter ...

  • The Don 7 years ago

    Don't the Black Stars get appearance fees for participating in these tournaments, such as the FIFA World cup and CAF? Don't they also get bumper sponsorship from GNPC and a host of other companies? So why the constant need to ...

    $5.4 million is outrageous amount. Are they going to sleep on golden beds and eats from golden spoons and plates? A tournament that will not last even a month has this enormous amount. GFA, ask how much America spend on conca ...

    Can't you see it's the criminal Nyantekyi who need to be changed rather than the minister...stupid Ashantes always refusing to call spade by the name

  • E. A. ADU GYAMFI 7 years ago

    next door to Gabon. Nonsense. this is too much, we are not bringing anything home anyway, so why waste such an amount in less than 2 weeks.

  • loomi 7 years ago

    they cant bring happiness home,needless to pamper them with money.No medal no money.

  • Banana 7 years ago

    Budget preparation is the responsibility of MOYS. The gfa only assists with budget inputs but the misguided minister and his cohorts have mischievously skewed the procedures into a heavy burden for the gfa.

  • Kobby 7 years ago

    You lie, get your facts right. If it were so why is the FA waging wars with the upright minister?

    What a joke. What is the value of the áfrican cup trophy? Less than 2 millon dollars and we are going spend more than 5 millon dollars. So is this gain or loss?

  • Victor Hugo 7 years ago

    Every trophy won anywhere cannot be evaluated. In other words, it is priceless. A country like Germany or the US can decide to take the World Cup trophy and donate the money that go with it to charity!

  • THE SENTINEL 7 years ago

    IN THE FIRST PLACE, WHY TRAIN AT DUBAI FOR MATCHES TO BE PLAYED AT GABON? THE SPORTS MINISTRY HAS DONE VERY VERY VERY WELL TO REJECT THE BUDGET. THE NPP GOVERHMENT MUST FOLLOW SUIT. THERE SHOULD BE NO APPEARANCE FEES AND CO-E ...

    The public needs to know the details of the budget to figure out if it is bloated or not. They should have a projection of the BS going as far as the finals. So where are the details?

    Oh! Nyantakyi why? $5.4m for a tournament? When are you stooping the stealing through the Black Stars? It is my fervent prayers that the stars don't go beyond the prelims
