The U.S. Embassy in Ghana has extended its deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives during the November 12 recruitment exercise at the El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra.
In a statement released on Thursday, November 13, the Embassy expressed solidarity with the people of Ghana and acknowledged the profound grief caused by the tragic incident.
“Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and the people of Ghana during this difficult time,” the statement read.
The deadly stampede occurred on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, when thousands of job seekers gathered at the El-Wak Sports Stadium for a Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) recruitment exercise.
The GAF has since confirmed six deaths, with several others injured and receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital.
