The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, says he will ensure Ghanaian football supporters who plan to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup, receive improved visa slots.
Mr. Ablakwa noted that these travel arrangements will be made by leveraging Ghana’s diplomatic relations with the World Cup host nations, Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
The minister gave the assurance following Ghana’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, achieved by the Black Stars with a narrow 1–0 victory over Comoros on Sunday, October 12, in Accra.
In a post on his social media platforms on Monday, October 13, Mr. Ablakwa congratulated the team and announced the visa arrangements, indicating that deserving visa quotas await supporters who seek to attend the one-month event.
“Ghanaians can be fully assured that the Foreign Ministry under my leadership shall leverage our improved cordial diplomatic relations with the United States, Canada and Mexico to guarantee appreciable visa quotas for our globally acclaimed football fans,” the minister assured.
He congratulated the Black Stars on what he described as an “emphatic qualification” to partake in their fifth World Cup tournament.
