World Cup Probe

The Office of the Special Prosecutor is investigating suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving contracts awarded by the National Sports Authority (NSA) to various service providers.

The Office has also received petitions alleging financial irregularities and possible abuse of public office in arrangements relating to Ghana’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The allegations concern the selection and accreditation of sponsorship beneficiaries, visa facilitation, payments reportedly made by prospective beneficiaries, the management of sponsorship proceeds and the allocation of travel opportunities.

The Office has also received allegations that persons declared winners of competitions linked to the sponsorship initiative were excluded from final beneficiary lists submitted to foreign diplomatic missions.

The Office will communicate any further investigative action in accordance with its disclosure policy. An investigation does not establish wrongdoing. All persons and institutions concerned are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
