The Black Stars head to South Africa in January for the continental showpiece, although they will first set out on a training camp in Abu Dhabi prior to the tournament.
Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi has already sent the funds request to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, while also defending the request for such a large sum of money.
He said: "Monies that sportsmen, especially footballers, earn falls outside a country's payment scheme.
"Footballers earn more than Presidents so it will be wrong on anyone's part to draw such a comparison."
