Minority Caucus in Ghana's Parliament has called for an investigation into the visa arrangements for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which allegedly involve the National Sports Authority (NSA), the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), and a private partner, TRIBE Culture Fest. The Minority Caucus, led by Ranking Member of the Youth and Sports Committee of Parliament Vincent Ekow Assafuah, claims that the arrangement led to the submission of lists to US and Canadian embassies, which included individuals whose institutional status could not be verified.
The Caucus alleges that the institutions were charged amounts ranging from $7,000 to $14,000 for visa processing, which is contrary to the documented institutional cost. The investigation is being requested to establish who authorized, prepared, and approved the lists submitted to the missions, how much was collected from applicants, the accounts through which payments were made, and the full utilization of the allocated visa slots.
