Officials from Bryant University and the Ghana Football Association have strengthened ties ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, following a high-level visit to Accra on Monday.
The delegation, which included representatives from the State of Rhode Island, met with key Ghanaian stakeholders as part of preparations for the tournament, where Ghana will base the Black Stars in Rhode Island. Bryant University has been designated as the team’s official training camp, offering modern facilities to support their build-up to the competition.
Discussions extended beyond football, focusing on long-term collaboration in areas such as education, investment and diaspora engagement. The partnership forms part of a broader initiative spearheaded by the Ghana UK Based Achievement Awards to strengthen connections between Ghana and its global diaspora.
A networking reception organized by GUBA brought together the visiting delegation and Ghanaian institutions, including MTN Ghana and the National Sports Authority.
National Sports Authority Director General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah described the partnership as strategic for Ghana’s World Cup ambitions. Ghana will face Panama, England and Croatia in the group stage.
