Ghana To Build 3-star Hotel With World Cup’s Cash by AloyEmeka8: 9:39pm On Dec 23, 2010 |
[size=14pt]Ghana to build 3-Star hotel with World Cup’s cash[/size] By Our reporter Thursday, December 23, 2010 The financial reward of Ghana's participation in the 2010 FIFA World Cup will be channeled towards construction of a three-star hotel at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence at Prampram in the Dangbe West District of Greater Accra Region. The hotel with an Olympic-size swimming pool among other facilities will serve as a major camping base for the various national teams and also operate as an income generating venture. Ghana reaped $11 million after taxes for reaching the last eight of the first ever Mundial on African soil, South Africa, and Ms Akua Sena Dansua, Minister of Youth and Sports, said at an interactive session with the media on Tuesday that the hotel facility was among the consideration of a legacy project for the country. Ms Dansua said there were many proposals with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in respect to the legacy project and the three-Star hotel project received an almost positive response. “The parties have not finalized discussions, and the project can only take off after all parties have consented to it. “But for the recent problems between the GFA and the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), discussions would have advanced according to the minister. Ms Dansua confirmed that the cash was still in the government coffers and will be channeled to the approved project at the right time. The project, she said, will be synonymous with Ghana's heroics at the Mundial which saw the Black Stars join Cameroon and Senegal to reach the quarters of the World Cup. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/sports/2010/dec/23/sports-23-12-2010-001.htm |
