The Normalisation Committee of the Ghana Football Association has presented a budget of $7.2 million to the government for the Black Stars participation at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should government rubber-stamp this budget, it will be the highest funds ever approved for the senior national team for any tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Normalisation Committee was set up by government and FIFA to oversee the running of the world game till a substantive FA is put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, government approved US$3.37 million to participate in the finals held in Gabon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the proposed budget, all 23 players will receive an \nincreased appearance fee and their per diems which was US$ 100 during \nthe 2017 competition will be increased to US$ 150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning bonus will also shoot up from US$ 5,000 to US$10,00\u00a0during the tournament, while head coach Kwesi Appiah<\/a> will take double that amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Black Stars last lifted the title in 1982 when they defeated \nhosts Libya on penalties after sharing the spoils 1-1 in regulation \ntime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghana have booked a place in the 2019 AFCON but have a game to play in the qualifiers against the Harambee Stars of Kenya at home next month to decide who tops the Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
