President Kurt Okraku, the Executive Council, and all staff of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) will hold a special two-day interfaith thanksgiving service to express appreciation for the Black Stars’ qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Thanksgiving event will bring together football stakeholders, religious leaders and fans to thank God for Ghana’s successful qualification, the country’s fifth World Cup appearance and second consecutive participation after the 2022 edition in Qatar.
The first service will take place on Friday, October 24, 2025, at the Imam Malik Hamburg Mosque in Maamobi, Accra, starting at 2:00 p.m., where Muslim members of the football fraternity will gather for prayers and thanksgiving.
A second service will follow on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at the Christ the King Anglican Church in Sakumono, beginning at 3:00 p.m., offering Christian members the opportunity to also express their gratitude.
Participants are encouraged to attend both services in white attire, symbolising unity, purity, and gratitude, as the football community celebrates this important milestone.
The GFA President, Executive Council members, staff, and other football stakeholders are expected to attend both services as part of efforts to promote togetherness and give thanks for another proud chapter in Ghana’s football history.
