The ministry indicated that this budget represents a full competition scenario, contingent on Ghana advancing through all stages of the tournament.
A more detailed breakdown of expenditures and funding arrangements will be shared as preparations intensify in the lead-up to the World Cup.
In the meantime, the Black Stars will use the March international break to play friendly matches against Germany and Austria, followed by a fixture against Mexico in May as part of their build-up to the tournament.
Ghana, drawn in Group L, will open their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17, before facing England on June 23 and concluding the group stage against Croatia on June 27.
After consecutive group-stage exits in recent tournaments, the Black Stars are focused on making a strong impression at the global event, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
