Requests should be sent to tickets@ghanafa.org.<\/p>\n<p>The access codes will apply to Ghana\u2019s three group-stage fixtures against Panama, England, and Croatia, as well as any knockout matches the Black Stars qualify for at the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The association noted that ticket availability for all Ghana matches will be limited and that access codes will be issued only to eligible applicants, subject to FIFA\u2019s ticketing conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Fans who receive codes will be able to select preferred matches and ticket categories when entering the draw through FIFA\u2019s application system.<\/p>\n<p>FIFA will determine the allocation of tickets to participating federations and assign seating locations within each category. Standard ticket categories and pricing will apply. The GFA encouraged supporters to apply early due to expected high demand.<\/p>\n<p>The association clarified that the tickets available through this process do not include the Supporter Entry Tier tickets priced at USD 60 under FIFA\u2019s special initiative for travelling fans.<\/p>\n<p>According to the timeline released, FIFA PMA access codes will be distributed in early January, with applications remaining open until January 22, 2026. Applicants may withdraw and resubmit entries before January 13 using the same access code. Successful applicants will be notified by email in February.<\/p>\n<p>Seat locations will not be selectable at the point of purchase. Tickets are expected to be distributed ahead of the tournament, with FIFA indicating availability in the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters may apply for multiple matches, including knockout fixtures, subject to Ghana\u2019s progression. Further updates on Ghana\u2019s World Cup preparations are available on the GFA\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Stars is among National teams to compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup The Ghana Football Association has outlined the process through which supporters can seek access to tickets for Black Stars matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
