Ghana High Commission in Canada receives over 50,000 World Cup ticket requests

The Ghana High Commission in Ottawa, Canada, has disclosed that it has received more than 50,000 expressions of interest from Ghanaians seeking tickets for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

In a public notice dated June 11, 2026, the Mission said the names and email addresses received are being compiled and forwarded to Ghana’s Ministry of Sports and Recreation in the order they were submitted for the necessary action.

The High Commission clarified, however, that it has not yet received any World Cup tickets from the Ministry.

“Following the public notice issued on 8th June 2026, the High Commission so far has received more than 50,000 names, with emails which are being compiled and forwarded in order of the time of receipt, to the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, Ghana, for their necessary action,” the notice stated.

The Mission urged members of the Ghanaian community in Canada to take note that no tickets have been allocated to the High Commission at this stage.

It further assured applicants that should tickets be received from the Ministry, together with guidelines for their distribution, the public would be duly informed.

The High Commission also expressed appreciation to Ghanaians in Canada for their overwhelming support for the Black Stars ahead of the global football tournament.

“We thank you for your great support for the Black Stars!” the notice added.

The statement was signed by Ghana’s High Commissioner to Canada, H.E. Prof. Dora Francisca Edu-Buandoh.
