Despite drawing a full-capacity crowd at the Baba Yara Stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Ghana and Chad, the National Sports Authority (NSA) made a surprisingly small profit of just 3,000 cedis. The match, which generated gross proceeds of 500,000 cedis, was overshadowed by unusually high operational costs — with over 300,000 cedis reportedly spent on ticket printing alone. This raises questions about the efficiency of expenditure and revenue management at major sporting events in Ghana, even when fan turnout hits record highs.
