  "account": "The National Sports Authority (NSA) has sought assistance from the Sports Ministry to process visas for 90 volunteers and event coordinators for activities related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams. The request was outlined in a letter from the now-dismissed NSA Director-General, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, which detailed planned activities in Ghana and the United States. Until May 19, 2026, the Ministry was unaware that some of these activities would take place in the United States. The letter provided a list of 90 individuals who were described as volunteers and event coordinators. The American Embassy introduced Tribe Fest Culture to the NSA and the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) ahead of the planned events. The exact nature of Tribe Fest Culture and its role in the World Cup activities remains unclear, with some details still to be explained by the organizers.",
