The tournament is expected to attract thousands of Ghanaian fans to support the team
Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, says the government has a responsibility to ensure a smooth and efficient visa process for Ghanaians travelling to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The tournament, to be hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico, is expected to attract thousands of fans and the Abura Asebu-Kwamankese MP says government remains committed to helping as many supporters as possible attend.
Kwakye Ofosu’s assurance follows Ghana’s qualification for the global showpiece and recent high-level meetings involving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ghana Football Association, and officials from the US Embassy and Canadian High Commission.
“As a government, we have a duty to at all times look out for the interests of the people of Ghana,” he told Joy Sports. “The Foreign Ministry has acted proactively by engaging the necessary authorities in the host countries to ensure the visa process for Ghanaians is smooth.”
He also revealed that Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s discussions with the embassies had been productive and generated positive feedback.
Ablakwa later confirmed via social media that a similar meeting would be held with Mexican officials to finalise Ghana’s comprehensive visa facilitation plan ahead of the World Cup.
