The Ghana Football Association will benefit from a US$ 5 million financial package from FIFA for a four-year cycle.

This was after the world’s football government significantly increased financial support for each association from US$ 1.6 million.

The Ghana FA will have access to US$ 750,000 per year for football projects such as pitches, competitions and women’s football.

This a huge boost for the National Women’s League which has been sponsorless since its inception.

Also, there will be US$ 500,000 a-year for running costs in areas including administration and governance at the FA.
