Kurt Okraku backs Black Stars to deliver one of best World Cup performances

Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku says he is confident Ghana can deliver one of its best-ever performances at the 2026 World Cup following a major sponsorship boost from Gold Fields.

Gold Fields Ghana and the Ghana Football Association have signed a two-year, $5 million sponsorship deal.

The partnership, signed on Friday at the company’s corporate office in Accra, covers the senior men’s and women’s national teams, the Black Stars and Black Queens, the amputee national team, the Black Challenge, and the Women’s Premier League.

Representatives of the beneficiary teams were in attendance at the ceremony.

This is the first time a Gold Fields partnership with the GFA will support other national teams beyond the Black Stars.

Speaking at the event, Okraku expressed optimism about the Black Stars’ prospects on the global stage.

"Very soon, our Black Stars will be coming out of the tunnel to represent our country during the World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

"These resources will help us to adequately prepare a team, and we are very positive about the team putting up one of the best performances ever in the history of the game."
