State funding won’t be utilized to fly fans to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, according to sports minister Mustapha Ussif.
He claims that the Ghanaian government is working with private corporations to pay for the fans’ travel to Qatar.
This is in response to the World Cup of 2014, where it became clear that the government spent a lot of money to bring thousands of fans to Brazil.
Mr. Ussif clarified that won’t happen again this year and added that private sponsorship will be arranged to fly fans to Qatar.
“Government is trying to raise funds through Corporate Ghana to help us to take fans to support our Black Stars,”he said on Citi FM.
“We will not use State funds for this and that is why we are appealing to corporate Ghana to come to our aid.”
