The spokesperson of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum has denied speculations that government takes all cost on national teams.
His comment comes following a media backlashing that the Ghana FA has allocated some amount of monies from the FIFA Covid-19 Relief Fund meant for local clubs to the national teams.

According to Henry Asante Twum, the Ghana FA also spend huge on the national teams, so the notion that the government takes all cost on the national teams is factually incorrect.
“The Black Stars for instance, when C. K Akonnor was appointed as coach of the Black Stars, he spent three weeks in Europe scouting and engaging players, not even a pesewa of that was catered for by Government, the FA paid for every single cost from his tickets, feeding etc.,” he told Starr FM.

“Before Covid-19, the National-17 team were camped for nine weeks in Cape Coast, all the cost were catered for by the Ghana FA.
“So it’s not factually correct that Government takes care of all cost on National teams.
“The GFA has and continues to spend on our national teams,” he added.
