The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has explained the circumstances surrounding Ghana’s allocation of 12 media accreditations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

According to the GFA, the number of accreditations granted to the country was determined by FIFA’s established accreditation framework, which considers factors such as media capacity, tournament logistics, and overall quota limits. The association stressed that the process was not influenced by favoritism or internal selection but strictly followed FIFA guidelines.

The GFA further noted that efforts were made to ensure a fair and transparent distribution of the available slots, adding that the limited number reflects the competitive demand for media access at major global tournaments.

While acknowledging concerns raised by sections of the media, the association urged stakeholders to understand the constraints involved and assured that it remains committed to supporting Ghanaian journalists covering national teams on the international stage.
