The Director-General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, has confirmed that ticket sales for Ghana’s final 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Comoros will close at 3:00 PM on Sunday.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Ampofo Ankrah explained that the early cutoff is aimed at preventing the crowd management challenges experienced during Ghana’s September home fixture against Mali.
“Worth noting that on match day, tickets will not be sold after 3 pm. The match is at 7 pm, and the reason for this is that we don’t want the challenges we had the last time, where fans were crowding around the stadium looking to purchase tickets,” he said.
“It must be very clear,” he added.
The NSA hopes that this policy will improve the match day experience by reducing chaos and allowing security personnel to manage crowds more effectively.
The Black Stars are set to face Comoros at 7:00 PM GMT, needing just a point to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
