Ghana are considering investing the
US$11m earned from the 2010
World Cup in the construction of a
three-star hotel as a camping base
for the country ’s national teams.
The financial reward of Ghana’s
participation in the tournament will be
channeled towards the hotel at the
Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence
at Prampram in the Dangbe West
District of Greater Accra Region.
The hotel with an Olympic-size
swimming pool amongst other
facilities will serve as a major camping
base for the various national teams
and also operate as an income
generating venture.
Ghana reaped 11 million US Dollars
after taxes for reaching the last eight
of the first ever Mundial on African soil,
South Africa and Ms Akua Sena
Dansua, Minister of Youth and Sports
said at an interaction with the media
on Tuesday that the hotel facility was
amongst the consideration of a legacy
project for the country.
Ms Dansua said there were many
proposals with the Ghana Football
Association (GFA) in respect to the
legacy project and the three-Star hotel
project received an almost positive
response.
“The parties have not finalized
discussions, and the project can only
take off after all parties have
consented to it.
But for the recent problems between
the GFA and the Economic and
Organised Crime Office (EOCO),
discussions would have been
advanced according to the Minister.
Ms Dansua confirmed that the cash
was still in Government coffers and will
be channeled through for the
approved project at the right time.
The project, she said, will be
synonymous with Ghana ’s heroics at
the Mundial which saw the Black Stars
become the first African team after
Cameroon and Senegal to reach the
quarters of the World Cup.

NFA still claim they havent gotten their own US$9 million since a year ago?. I thought we have efcc in nigeria.

$9 million for Nigeria? Why would Nigeria get $9 million. Isn't it supposed to be $8m, going by your profiling?
