World Cup Visa Scandal: What Gyamfi Reportedly Told Investigators About Ampofo and Tribe CEO

A fresh controversy surrounding Ghana’s World Cup visa scandal has put former National Sports Authority (NSA) Chief Executive Officer Gyamfi Kusi Awere at the centre of attention, after reports linked him to information that allegedly implicated sports journalist Patrick Ampofo Ankrah and Tribe Culture Fest CEO Nana Boateng Gyimah.

The matter has raised questions about what really happened behind the scenes and why the former NSA boss reportedly provided information about the two men as investigations into the visa controversy gathered momentum.

According to a report published by on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, the case is connected to arrangements surrounding Ghanaian supporters and travel for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The controversy is particularly sensitive because World Cup-related travel involves large sums of money, visa applications and the movement of supporters across international borders. Any allegation of wrongdoing in such an arrangement can therefore attract serious public attention.

The report names Gyamfi Kusi Awere alongside Nana Boateng Gyimah and Ampofo Ankrah. However, the details reported about their individual roles should not be treated as proof of criminal wrongdoing unless established by the relevant authorities or a court.

Gyamfi’s reported decision to provide information about others has also sparked debate over his own position in the matter. Some may see such cooperation as an attempt to help investigators establish what happened, while others may question whether there are deeper issues that have not yet become public.

The situation has added another layer to Ghana’s long-running debate about accountability in sports administration. Whenever public officials or people connected to major sporting events come under investigation, pressure usually grows for authorities to explain who approved what, who benefited and whether proper procedures were followed.

For ordinary Ghanaians, the biggest concern is likely to be the truth. Supporters who hoped to travel for the World Cup would want clear answers about how visa arrangements were handled and whether anyone was misled or treated unfairly.
