The Ghana Football Association (GFA), headed by Kurt Okraku, has formed a Fundraising Subcommittee under the World Cup Ministerial Committee.
The committee, chaired by Hon. Thomas Nyarko Ampem, has revealed plans to raise $30 million in support of the Ghana national football team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The fundraising initiative was officially launched in Accra at the Kempinski Hotel on Friday, March 20, 2026, as Ghana prepares for the global tournament.
According to the Deputy Finance Minister, who also serves as Chairman of the subcommittee, the initiative forms a key part of Ghana’s broader strategy to ensure the national team is well-resourced for the tournament.
The launch event attracted prominent personalities, including President John Dramani Mahama, GFA President Kurt Okraku, and several other top dignitaries from government, as well as football fans and enthusiasts.
Hon. Thomas Nyarko Ampem indicated that he is very optimistic the committee will be able to raise the target amount, noting that the launch alone has already generated over $10 million.
The Fundraising Subcommittee is expected to engage corporate Ghana, private stakeholders, and international partners to mobilise the targeted amount, aimed at supporting logistics, player welfare, and overall team preparation.
