NSA World Cup Visa Probe: Minority claims four job titles listed in NSA visa documents do not exist

A minority group within the parliament has raised concerns over a list of four individuals included in the National Sports Authority’s (NSA) World Cup visa submissions, according to the U.S. Embassy’s Fraud Prevention Unit. The minority party, led by Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the Ranking Member of the Youth and Sports Committee, claims that the Fraud Prevention Unit raised red flags on March 18, 2026, questioning whether these four individuals truly worked for the NSA.

According to the Minority, the four people in question and their alleged job titles are as follows:

1. Ralph Egyir Quianoo – listed as Operations Coordinator

2. Belinda Tsey – listed as Business Administrator

3. Francis Frimpong Agyemang – listed as World Cup Coordinator

4. Beryl Joycelyn Baabe Duut – listed as Research and Technology Officer

The Minority asserts that its own verification found that none of these four positions actually exist within the NSA’s organizational structure. In response to the U.S. Embassy's request for proof, Assafuah claims the NSA provided a letter on the same day confirming the appointments and travel support for the four individuals.

The Minority is now demanding an investigation into several aspects of the situation, including:

- Who prepared the list of names and job titles

- Who verified the information before submission

- Who authorized sending the list to the U.S. Embassy

Assafuah frames the issue as a matter of "institutional identity," questioning who created the institutional identities under which these people were presented to a foreign government. These allegations are part of a larger probe into an alleged World Cup visa facilitation scheme involving the NSA, which has already resulted in leadership changes and ongoing investigations by the CID.
