Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has confirmed that Ghana will broadcast the 2026 FIFA World Cup live following successful government-backed arrangements and a nationwide fundraising initiative.
Speaking on Tuesday, May 12, during the presentation of a GH¢5 million donation from GCB Bank to the Black Stars support campaign, the Buem MP disclosed that the necessary broadcast rights have been secured to ensure matches will be shown on selected media platforms across the country.
“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,” he said.
The GCB Bank contribution forms part of a broader effort to mobilise financial and corporate support for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Government has recently launched a fundraising drive aimed at rallying stakeholders behind the Black Stars as preparations intensify for the tournament, which will be staged in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Ghana, making its fifth appearance at the global showpiece, has been drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama.
The Black Stars will open their campaign against Panama in Toronto on June 17, before taking on England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27.
As part of their build-up, Ghana are scheduled to play international friendlies against Mexico later this month, followed by a final preparatory match against Wales on June 2.
