The Ghana Football Association (GFA) says it has taken careful note of the Ministry of Sports and Recreation\u2019s statements on the Black Stars\u2019 budget for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and will provide clarifications in due course.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Wednesday, September 2, 2025, the GFA said: \u201cAs the custodian of Ghana football, the GFA will, in due course, provide clarifications to the issues raised.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Association, however, emphasised the need to maintain focus on the immediate task at hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deem it prudent at this time to maintain our collective focus on the crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Chad tomorrow, Thursday, September 4th, 2025, at 1pm and Mali on Monday, September 8th, 2025, at 7pm.\u201d<\/p>\n

The GFA urged the nation to rally behind the Black Stars, stating: \u201cThe Black Stars require the unflinching support of all Ghanaians as they prepare to navigate these important encounters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unity and commitment of our supporters have always been the team\u2019s greatest strength, and we urge the nation to keep this spirit alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Association, a full response will be provided after the Mali match. \u201cOnce the match against Mali is concluded, the GFA will make its comprehensive remarks regarding the Ministry\u2019s statements,\u201d the release added.<\/p>\n

The GFA also expressed gratitude to the public, saying: \u201cWe extend our sincere appreciation to all Ghanaians for their understanding and their continued support for the Black Stars and all our national teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
