Sports Minister Kofi Adams has made it clear that he will not recommend spending government funds to send Ghanaian supporters to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
He emphasized that the country’s current financial situation makes such an initiative unrealistic.
"Well, there is no game or tournament we don't go with supporters but whether I will take them or someone will take them is a different ball game. so far government has not given that indication that the government will send supporters. I dont think that it is something I will recommend we are in a period that we are in austere situation we need money to build sports infrastructure in Ghana. Then we are going to spend money to transport supporters and people all the way to America that money can build five multipurpose parks in some of the communities for me," he told Peace FM as monitored by Ghanasoccernet.com
"I believe that there are a lot of Ghanaians in those areas anybody who wants to go find your own resources we can facilitate your travel documents then you go or we should mobilize from the corporate possibly both private and public lets mobilize and give support to the fans. government can team up and get the corporate to support that will be a good idea but putting government money into the budget to take supporters I dont think,"
