Here's what Sports Ministry said about 2023 AFCON budget

Sports Ministry Spokesperson, Charles Amofa, has stated that the Black Stars' budget for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations will be revealed after the tournament.

Amofa entreated Ghanaians to rally behind the team and suggested that pray for the team to bring glory to the nation.

"The AFCON budget is a work in progress, Ghanaians will know after the tournament. For now, we will entreat everyone to pray for the team," he told Angel FM.
