But the ministry believes the senior national male football team of Ghana is a big brand, so nations that invite them for friendly games should be ready to foot the bills.
"As a country we have decided not to play any friendly match that we will have to spend on. We have communicated to the FA that if any country wants to play us, they will have to bear the cost," Hon. Hadzide declared on Oyerepa FM.
"Ghana is a big football nation so any country that wants to play us will have to pay well. It shouldn't bring a loss to us, no. Friendly matches should profit us not loss."
