The Ghana Football Association (GFA), in partnership with the National Lottery Authority (NLA) and gaming firm Rambell, has launched a nationwide promotion giving fans the chance to experience the 2026 FIFA World Cup live. The initiative was unveiled on Tuesday, November 4, at the GFA headquarters in Accra.
GFA President Kurt Okraku said the promotion is part of efforts to ensure supporters remain at the heart of Ghana’s World Cup journey.
“This is the second time after we failed to qualify in 2018, and we are back to where we belong in world football. Having made it through the hard work of the technical team and the playing body, we at the GFA want to think about the entire country. And for that reason, we cannot go alone and leave the fans behind. In partnership with Rambell and NLA, we have the opportunity to go to the World Cup with the fans,” he stated.
Okraku added that the partnership ensures fans can feel part of the team’s journey. “I want a situation where the players sing the national anthem, and the players will feel the presence of the fans,” he said.
NLA Director-General Mohammed Abdul Salam assured participants of fairness and transparency in the promotion. “We at the NLA are committed to providing transparency, and we are in to ensure whatever we say, we deliver. We believe that Ghanaians who participate in this game will witness this transparency,” he said.
Representing Rambell, Rockson Kondey explained the mechanics and scale of the fan experience. He revealed that 220 supporters will be flown to the World Cup and outlined the participation process.
“Today marks a historic moment for our game. We believe that every Ghanaian deserves a chance to participate, win, and watch the World Cup. With just GHC20, every Ghanaian can win. Fans can join the raffle by dialling 899889#,” he said.
Ghana secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, by finishing top of Group I with 25 points and remaining undefeated.
The Black Stars will learn their group phase opponents on December 5.
