Unique Opportunity for Supporters

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has revealed an innovative collaboration with the National Lottery Authority (NLA) and the lottery service provider Rambell, aimed at giving 220 Ghanaian fans a remarkable chance to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup taking place in North America.

Launch of the National Raffle Campaign

This initiative was officially unveiled at the GFA Headquarters on November 4, 2025, with the campaign named “World Cup Bonanza.”

The event was attended by notable personalities, including GFA President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, the NLA Director-General Mohammed Abdul-Salam, and Rockson Konde on behalf of the Board Chairman of Rambell. Several prominent Ghanaian influencers such as Afronita, Fella Makafui, Kal Jay, and many others were also present, contributing to the event’s vibrant atmosphere. Additionally, well-known entertainers like Dr. Likee, Kyekyeku, and DanceGod Lloyd will play a key role in promoting this initiative nationwide.

Exciting Fan Experience

Overseen by the NLA, the World Cup Bonanza provides Ghanaians with a rare opportunity to win an all-expenses-paid trip to witness the Black Stars compete during the prestigious tournament hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

In his remarks at the launch, President Kurt Okraku emphasized the significance of this initiative, acknowledging the passionate support of Ghanaian fans:

“Now that we have secured our place at the World Cup, it’s crucial for the FA to prioritize the nation, especially the supporters,” he stated.

“The journey to the World Cup was not achieved alone, and we cannot attend the tournament without our fans. With the collaborative effort of the NLA and Rambell, we have a wonderful opportunity to include our supporters in this remarkable experience.”

Campaign Vision: Support and Development

The essence of the World Cup Bonanza lies in the slogan: “Play More, Win More, and Experience Football’s Biggest Stage.” This initiative not only promises unforgettable experiences for participants but also aims to reinvest in the development of sports in Ghana through the Good Causes Fund.
