Football fans in Ghana will be left disappointed this week as the much-anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers involving the Black Stars will not be broadcast on any local television station.
State broadcaster GTV, which traditionally holds the rights to air Ghana's national team matches, has been locked out of coverage after failing to settle debts owed to FIFA from previous matches.
This financial standoff means Ghanaians will miss out on watching the Black Stars face Chad in N'Djamena on Thursday, as well as the crucial home tie against Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday.
The development has sparked frustration among fans, who consider Black Stars matches a national affair that should be easily accessible to the public.
