GFA to receive $12.5m from FIFA  for World Cup participation   

Story: Sports Desk

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will receive $2.5 million to prepare the Black Stars for the 2026 World Cup after FIFA increased the prize money for participating teams by over $100 million. 

The figure is a $1 million increase from what was previously offered to teams as preparatory money for the competition. 

Ghana will receive a further $10 million for qualifying for the competition, an increase from $9 million from the previous tournament. 

FIFA will increase payments to teams taking part in the 2026 World Cup to almost $900 million, the world soccer governing body said on Tuesday, citing the commercial success of its expanded flagship men’s tournament. 

The FIFA Council, meeting in Vancouver ahead of the 76th FIFA Congress, approved a 15% increase in resources to be distributed to all 48 participating member associations at next year’s tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States. 

The total pot will rise to $871 million, FIFA said, with each participating team receiving increased preparation money of $2.5 million, up from $1.5 million. 

Qualification money will also increase from $9 million to $10 million, while FIFA said additional team contributions would include subsidies for team delegation costs and increased team ticketing allocations totalling more than $16 million. 

“FIFA is proud to be in its most solid financial position ever, enabling us to help ‌all ⁠our Member Associations in an unprecedented way,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said. 

“This is one more example of how FIFA’s resources are reinvested back into the game.” 

The sheer scale of staging a tournament across North America, with long-haul travel, differing tax regimes and significant operational demands, had prompted unease among some participating nations. 

UEFA had passed on concerns from several European associations that teams could find it difficult to break even unless they progress deep into the competition. 

The 2026 World Cup will be the first edition of the men’s tournament to feature 48 teams, up from 32, and will be staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico. 

The increased distribution comes as FIFA prepares for the biggest and most commercially lucrative World Cup in history, with more teams, more matches, and expanded revenue opportunities across ticketing, sponsorship, and broadcast rights.

  2. It is always a major milestone when a national football association receives significant funding following a successful tournament run. These resources provide a vital opportunity to invest in grassroots programs, improve infrastructure, and ensure that the next generation of players has the support they need to compete on the world stage.

    When I need a quick mental break, I usually visit truyện tranh 18+ because it’s so easy and fast to use.

    Seeing those funds put toward long-term development is a great way to keep the momentum going and build a sustainable future for the sport!

  4. This financial injection from FIFA is a massive boost for Ghanaian football! If managed with transparency, these funds can truly transform grassroots development and sports infrastructure across the nation. Handling such a significant budget effectively requires incredible strategic planning, quite like the resource management skills you develop while conquering complex 1 Player Games. It’s all about making the right tactical investments. Hoping to see this lead to long-term success for the Black Stars!
