Sylvia Adorkor and Kylian Mbappe
Ghanaian sports journalist and photographer Tagoe Sylvia Adorkor had the honor of capturing some of the most iconic moments during the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in Qatar.
Her responsibility was to provide real-time, high-quality coverage of the matches, focusing on the intensity, emotion, and spirit of the game.
“Through my lens, I documented pivotal moments, from player triumphs to the electrifying energy of the fans.”
Beyond photography, Adorkor worked behind the scenes, ensuring every shot told a story and every frame immortalized the beauty of the tournament.
Additionally, the photographer collaborated with the media teams to deliver visuals that not only captured the action but also highlighted the cultural significance of the event, showcasing its global appeal to fans worldwide.
One of the most unforgettable experiences was photographing the celebration of Real Madrid C.F. as they lifted the trophy.
“The joy and pride on their faces were truly inspiring. Another standout moment was interacting with international media professionals and exchanging insights about capturing the essence of such a prestigious event.”
A personal highlight was being on the pitch, up close to the players, during the post-match celebrations. Feeling the energy of the crowd and witnessing the players’ raw emotions gave me a deeper appreciation for the role of sports in uniting people across the globe.
Despite the challenges of maintaining precision under the pressure of a live event, the adrenaline and passion fueled my work, making this event an unforgettable chapter in my career as a sports journalist.
