The National Sports Authority (NSA) is demanding $2 million of the money earned by the Black Stars at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Stars used the Cape Coast Stadium for the group games against Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
The team was forced to use the Baba Yara Stadium for their play-off tie against Nigeria in March.
According to the Director General of the NSA, Professor Peter Twumasi, his outfit ensured the readiness of both Cape Coast Sports and Baba Yara Sports Stadium for the Black Stars’ home games during the qualifiers.
“We are demanding about $2 million from the FIFA money because we are part of the qualification, all the matches were played in our stadium,” he told Kumasi-based Pure FM.
“We need those monies so that we can also use them for regular maintenance. Those kinds of monies can be very helpful to us,” he added.
