A lone goal just prior to half-time proved the difference as Ghana edged a 1-0 win over Germany to become the first team to win through to the last-eight at Costa Rica 2014. The match was played at an impressive tempo despite the draining late afternoon heat and sun in the first half in Liberia.

Ghana has approved a budgetary allocation of Gh¢ 24,677,025 ($9,622,170) for the Black Stars participation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

A goal in each half lifted a resilient Ghana to a 2-0 win over 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup finalists Korea DPR for a bright start to their Group B campaign in Liberia.
