Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has warned Ghanaians to be cautious of fraudsters claiming they can secure FIFA World Cup tickets or access through so-called “slots.”
Speaking at the National Forum on Trafficking Through Sports, Mr. Adams said there is no official arrangement that allows anyone to distribute guaranteed World Cup access.
“There is no such thing as slots. You heard it from those in charge of missions in the host countries,” he said.
According to him, some individuals have been using his name to deceive members of the public and collect money from them.
He explained that no minister has been given any number of World Cup slots to share.
“Someone will emerge somewhere and claim he is speaking for the Minister, and people end up paying huge sums of money,” he stated.
Mr. Adams urged the public not to pay money to anyone claiming they can secure special World Cup opportunities.
He said government is interested in helping Ghanaians experience the tournament, but any arrangement would be done openly and properly.
“We will do it in a structured way so that people will not allow themselves to be exploited,” he added.
His comments come at a time when reports of sports-related scams are increasing ahead of major international tournaments.
The Minister therefore urged the public to remain vigilant and verify every offer before making any payment.
