World Cup star Tagoe unhappy with new Ghana national team budget

Former Ghana striker Prince Tagoe has claimed the nation's budget for the upcoming 2022 World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations tournament doesn't "sound well" and has asked authorities to investigate.

Last week, Ghana president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo disclosed a budget of $25 million has been earmarked for the campaigns, a revelation that has drawn a lot of criticism.

A later development, though, was that the budget also covers the assignments of Ghana's other national football teams.

"Now things are not going well for the Black Stars, so I believe the budget approved for the tournaments is too huge,” former TSG Hoffenheim striker Tagoe, who represented Ghana at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations and 2010 World Cup tournaments, told Angel TV.
