Since its construction, the Ghanaman Soccer Center of Excellence has been the camp base for several Ghanaian national teams.
Although the Black Stars have never camped there, the facility is usually a pre-tournament base for the junior and women’s teams.
“Ghana earns $9.5 million in World Cup group stage,” Asante Twum told Asempa FM, as quoted by 3Sports.
“The current plan is to transform the Ghanaman Center of Excellence into at least a 3-star hotel with a capacity of 60 to 70. We want to raise the standard of the Ghanaian Football Center of Excellence to host matches of all our national teams.
Ghana suffered a group stage exit at the World Cup after being paired in a group with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
Otto Addo’s men managed to win against South Korea, but lost to Portugal and Uruguay, as they finished bottom of the group.
Before the tournament, the Ministry of Sports had estimated that $8 million would be spent on the Black Stars’ group stage campaign.
However, Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif confirmed after the World Cup that $5,171,840 was spent on the team in Qatar, thus saving almost $3 million in the initial budget.
