Ghana will sponsor only 800 supporters to the 2026 FIFA World Cup taking place in Mexico, Canada and the US.
The country’s Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, made this known in an interview with journalist Bernard Avle on Accra-based Channel One TV on Monday, March 30, 2026 on The Point of View.
He says the cost per supporter was estimated at $9,250, covering airfare, accommodation, and local transportation throughout the tournament taking place in June and July.
According to him, the high cost was responsible for capping the number of supporters to 800.
The Minister says “The cost is quite high, so we’re thinking about not doing more than 800. The Supporters’ Union are many; we can’t take all. If we’re successful at sending [this number], the calculations we did, even at the group stage, will cost you about $9,250 per head. We’re paying for their air tickets, accommodation, and transport.”
