Accra: The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has announced the government's initiative to secure financial assistance from corporate Ghana to send supporters to cheer on the Black Stars at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The plan involves soliciting funding from corporate bodies and other institutions interested in supporting the cause, with the goal of generating revenue for the project.
According to Ghana Web, the Member of Parliament for the Buem constituency, Kofi Adams, clarified that the amount of money the government can raise will determine the number of fans the State will sponsor for the World Cup. 'The policy that we should take fans is clear. It is clear that we should work at it, and that is why we have set up a fundraising committee. The number we ultimately take will depend on how much we raise,' he said during an interview with Asempa FM.
The sports minister appealed to corporate institutions to contribute financially so that more supporters can travel to support the Black Stars at the World Cup. 'This is why we are appealing to corporate bodies, companies, mining firms, and well-meaning individuals to come on board and support this initiative,' he added.
The Black Stars have been placed in Group L alongside Croatia, England, and Panama at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico.
