The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in Ghana has launched an investigation into alleged corruption linked to travel arrangements for the 2026 World Cup. The probe focuses on contracts with the National Sports Authority (NSA) and claims that travelers paid between $7,000 and $14,000 for travel packages.
The OSP is examining whether officials involved in organizing travel for the tournament engaged in corrupt practices. Reports suggest that some individuals were charged excessive fees for travel services, raising concerns about transparency and accountability. The investigation is part of broader efforts to address corruption in sports governance.
This follows growing public scrutiny over the management of the 2026 World Cup preparations. Previous reports highlighted irregularities in funding and logistics, prompting calls for greater oversight. The OSP’s involvement marks a significant step in addressing these concerns, though the full scope of the investigation remains unclear. The outcome could have implications for the integrity of the World Cup and the governance of Ghana’s sports sector.
