Our attention has been drawn to media reports alleging that the GFA Normalization Committee has submitted a budget of $7.2million to the government towards the Black Stars participation at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Among other things the report purports that per diem for the Black Stars players has been increased from $100 to $150.

We wish to state unambiguously that the said publications are false.

The Normalization Committee has not submitted any budget to government for the impending competition and will like to alert the general public to disregard any such reports.

The public is hereby informed that at the appropriate time the approved budget for AFCON 2019 will be announced.

Dan Kwaku Yeboah Spokesperson Normalization Committee
