Black Stars must raise own fund: Terkper
Managers of the Senior National team, the Black
Stars of Ghana must find ways of rebranding the
team to enable it generate income to finance
itself, Minister of Finance Seth Terkper has
said.

According to him, the team’s expenditure, at the
moment, takes a chunk of the government’s budget
but explained that the Black Stars could raise
money for their activities.

Speaking in an interview with Class 91.3FM, Mr
Terkper said: “How can we continue with the
branding of the Black Stars so that it can begin
to generate its own resources? How can you make
the Black Stars brand to be such that its benefit
will then percolate to other lesser known sports?

"The budget has a role to play, but we are saying
is that what other countries do from the
television rights? How do they make the profit? I
am not an expert in that field, but I know that in
the UK and elsewhere sports is considered to be a
social project…financed by the state, so I think
we must begin to bring in some of these things.”
