Ghana can win world cup
if... Kofi Amoah
Accra, Nov. 8, Ghanadot/GNA - Dr. Kofi Amoah, Chairman of
the Ghana 2008 Local Organising Committee (LOC), on Thursday
said Ghana could win the 2010 world cup in South Africa if
the government made a commitment to invest at least US$10
million to secure a high profile international coach now.
"I have a clear vision that would require only US$10 million
to among other things, secure the kind of coach that would
take the Black Stars through only one and half years of
intensive training and ensure that we won the 2010 World
Cup," he said.
Dr. Amoah made the remark at the launch of the MTN "Spot the
ball promotion", designed to reward MTN subscribers with
various prizes in the run up to the Ghana2008 tournament.
The promotion would require subscribers to spot the correct
location of the ball in pictures of three various football
actions between Michael Essien and Stephen Appiah and win.
Dr. Amoah noted that the fact that Ghana qualified for the
world cup last year and was hosting Ghana 2008 African Cup
of Nations next year, was indicative that the country had
come of age and could therefore focus on winning the world
cup and win.
"We have to make it a national goal to win the world cup in
2010 and start working at it from now," he said.
Dr. Amoah said assured the public that in terms of
infrastructure the country was fully prepared to provide a
successful tournament this year.
"We have the resource, the expertise and the talent to
showcase a fabulous tournament for all to see, come January
2008," he said.
