Ghana could potentially co-host a FIFA World Cup with Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire in the future, Minister of Sports and Recreation Kofi Adams has suggested.
Speaking on the prospect, Adams highlighted the growing trend of joint hosting, pointing to the upcoming 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, as well as the 2030 edition set for Morocco, Spain, and Portugal.
"They [FIFA] are beginning to adapt a number of nations doing it so maybe who knows, the next one would be Ghana, Nigeria, and then Côte d'Ivoire coming together to also host the World Cup, and it will be good," he said.
Adams emphasized that the three countries already have experience in staging major tournaments. He pointed to Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire’s recent African Cup of Nations events as proof of their readiness.
"I believe that we, together with Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire, who have already invested quite a lot because they hosted AFCON not too long ago.
“We can also make a strong case to host,” Adams noted.
Ghana last organized a major sporting event in 2024 with the postponed 2023 African Games, while Côte d’Ivoire hosted the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
