Yaw Ampofo Ankrah suspended as NSA Director-General amid World Cup visa controversy
Synthesised from 3 Ghanaian sources
The National Sports Authority (NSA) has a new acting Director-General after President John Dramani Mahama removed Yaw Ampofo Ankrah from office, weeks after allegations emerged over an alleged visa facilitation arrangement linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The NSA, however, has denied authorising any visa facilitation service or money-collection arrangement related to the World Cup.
Ampofo Ankrah’s removal therefore marks another change at the top of the NSA as the government faces continued scrutiny over the Authority’s administration, sporting infrastructure and the unresolved allegations surrounding World Cup travel arrangements.
