With less than a month to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Corporate Ghana has stepped up financial support for the Black Stars World Cup Fund, as several companies redeem pledges and make fresh contributions toward Ghana’s campaign.
According to the Ministry of Finance in a social media post, leading the latest round of donations is Ghana Gas Limited, which presented GH¢5 million to support the national team’s participation at the tournament next month.
Other major contributors include Ecobank Ghana Limited with GH¢3 million, Zijin Golden Ridge Limited with GH¢1.13 million, and Absa Bank Ghana with GH¢1 million. OmniBSIC Bank also made a symbolic presentation of GH¢250,000.
The donations were received at the Ministry of Finance in Accra by Deputy Finance Minister and Chairman of the Black Stars World Cup Fundraising Committee, Thomas Nyarko Ampem.
Speaking during the presentation, the Deputy Minister expressed appreciation to the companies for demonstrating commitment and patriotism toward the Black Stars.
He also appealed to other institutions and individuals who have pledged support to honour their commitments, stressing that contributions remain open until the end of the month.
The latest donations form part of a broader fundraising drive launched by President John Dramani Mahama in March to mobilise $30 million from Corporate Ghana and the general public to support Ghana’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to the Ministry, donations and pledges will continue to be received every Thursday as efforts intensify to boost the Black Stars’ preparations for the global football showpiece.
