Minister for Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says the government is committed to using diplomatic channels to boost fan support for the Black Stars at the 2026 World Cup.
His assurance follows Ghana’s placement in Group L alongside England, Panama, and Croatia — a draw many analysts consider one of the toughest in the tournament.
In a post on X on Saturday, December 6, 2025, Ablakwa revealed that his ministry is already working with Ghana’s diplomatic missions in the United States and Canada to secure opportunities for as many Ghanaian supporters as possible.
“We have unflinching confidence in our heroic Black Stars to make us proud despite having been drawn in a competitive group.
“Now, it’s our duty to leverage cordial diplomatic alliances to ensure a good number of Ghanaian soccer fans get the opportunity to zestfully support the team in the US and Canada, as our supporters are globally renowned for.
“Ghana shall be unstoppable! We shall succeed — for God and Country,” he wrote.
