The Director-General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Yaw Ampofo Ankrah has announced that tickets sales for Ghana’s final match in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series against Comoros will close on Sunday at exactly 3:00 PM.
During a press briefing on Thursday, the DG explained that the decision was a reaction to issues related to crowd management they encountered during the Black Stars’ last home game against Mali.
“It is worth noting that on match day, tickets will not be sold after 3 pm. The match is at 7 pm, and the reason for this is that we don’t want the challenges we had the last time, where fans were crowding around the stadium looking to purchase tickets,” Mr. Ampofo said.
According the NSA, the decision is to ensure that fans get to have better match-day experience, ensure crowd control and also address the security lapses during football games at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Black Stars have moved within touching distance from qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be staged in the United States, Mexico and Canada. They need just one point against Comoros to secure their fifth World Cup qualification.
