Football fans in Ghana will not be able to watch the Black Stars’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on television this week, after state broadcaster GTV lost the rights due to unpaid debts owed to FIFA.
The development means Ghanaians will miss Thursday’s clash with Chad in N’Djamena and Monday’s crucial home fixture against Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium.
For decades, GTV has been the go-to station for national team matches, but the financial standoff has left millions of fans disappointed.
Instead, supporters will have to depend on radio commentary or international streaming platforms to follow the action.
This is not the first time Ghanaian fans have been denied live coverage of Black Stars matches, but the situation has triggered fresh anger given its direct link to debts at the national broadcaster.
With emotions running high, many are calling on authorities to urgently intervene and ensure that future Black Stars fixtures are not disrupted by financial wrangling.
