    How do we spend more than the benefits from the competition as far as the group stage elimination is concerned?

    BUT 2024 AFCON WINNING PRICE IS $7 MILLION

    How on earth will you budget more than what you would have gotten if Ghana had won? Thought you didn't spend all the $8 million plus budget, it just doesn't make sense.

  • Datus 8 months ago

    3 million in 2 weeks for AFCON group elimination. But you give league winners 30 thousand . Corrupt country, with this we will never make any progress.

    How can you budget 8.5 million for a tournament when the actual price is 7million? Is it not counter-productive? Somebody should give me an answer.

    This should be the last time the budget is bigger than the prize money! The corruption and pampering is too much and has destroyed any pinch of patriotism in the players.
