Ghanaian football fans will be able to follow the 2026 FIFA World Cup live after the government successfully secured broadcast rights for the tournament.
The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, revealed that support from government and ongoing fundraising efforts made it possible for Ghana to acquire the rights to televise the global showpiece across multiple media platforms.
Speaking on Tuesday, May 12, during the presentation of a GH¢5 million donation from GCB Bank to the Black Stars fundraising campaign, the minister confirmed that arrangements had already been finalised.
“Through the support of government and fundraising efforts, we have been able to secure broadcast rights to telecast the World Cup matches live on some of the media stations,” Kofi Adams stated.
Support Growing for Black Stars Campaign
The contribution from GCB Bank forms part of a wider national fundraising initiative launched to support the Ghana national football team ahead of the tournament.
The campaign aims to encourage corporate institutions, businesses, and other stakeholders to contribute financially toward Ghana’s World Cup preparations as the country seeks to make a strong impression on football’s biggest stage.
Ghana Preparing for Fifth World Cup Appearance
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Ghana have been drawn in Group L alongside the England national football team, Croatia national football team, and the Panama national football team.
The Black Stars are preparing for their fifth appearance at the World Cup and will be hoping to improve on recent group-stage exits in both 2014 and 2022.
With broadcast rights now secured, millions of Ghanaian fans across the country will have the opportunity to follow every moment of the tournament live as anticipation continues to build ahead of the global spectacle.
