As part of its comprehensive 40-year national development plan, Ghana has set its eyes on hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2038.
The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) created a strategy that includes an ambitious proposal with the goal of making Ghana a popular sporting destination on a worldwide scale.
The NDPC’s Director-General, Dr. Nii Moi Thompson, discussed the nation’s plans on Tuesday night’s episode of Good Evening Ghana on Metro TV.
He highlighted, however, that the proposal is dependent on Ghana achieving particular financial and infrastructure goals stated in the recently filed draft National Development Plan.
According to the long-term development strategy, Ghana wants to host important international occasions like the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup.
The strategy emphasizes the nation’s dedication to using sports as a catalyst for advancement on a global scale.
The construction of a cutting-edge stadium called the “Black Star Stadium” is one of the key infrastructure initiatives envisioned in the 40-year development plan.
Cutting-edge 21st-century technology will be incorporated into this contemporary building, and solar panels will cover the stadium roof. The stadium will be ingeniously connected to a vast road and rail network to provide seamless connection.
Notably, throughout its 60-year existence, Ghana has never had the chance to host the Olympic Games or the FIFA World Cup.
If Ghana is successful in its application, it will only be the second African country to host the famous event after South Africa did it in 2010.
