[QUOTE="Latest Football News, Live Scores, Results -, post: 72604"] The Ministry of Youth and Sports spent a sum of $1,650,000 on Ghana's disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament Metro TV Sports has reported. Initially budgeting $25 million for the 34th edition of AFCON in Ivory Coast, the Ministry fell short of utilizing the entire allocated budget due to the Black Stars' inability to progress beyond the group stage. Had the team advanced to the Round of 16, each player would have received a $30,000 qualification bonus. However, the failure to move to the next stage resulted in a significant saving of $810,000 for the nation, as 27 players were part of the squad. The then-head coach, Chris Hughton, would have been entitled to a $60,000 bonus, with the remaining technical team members receiving $21,000 collectively. In total, the team's inability to qualify from Group B saved $891,000. Youth and Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif is anticipated to appear before Parliament in the coming days to provide an account of Ghana's expenditures during the Ivory Coast tournament. Despite making their 24th appearance in the tournament, Ghana's performance was lacklustre, finishing 3rd in Group B with only 2 points. The Black Stars suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Cape Verde in their opening match and went on to draw with Egypt and Mozambique in their subsequent group games. [/QUOTE]
