The U.S. Embassy in Ghana has clarified visa requirements for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Football fans from Ghana do not need a World Cup ticket to apply for a B visa to travel to the United States.
This information came from a named official at the embassy. All individuals seeking a B visa must meet the general requirements for that type of visa.
A B visa is typically for temporary visitors for business or tourism. The embassy did not disclose any special visa categories for the World Cup.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Many Ghanaian fans hope to travel to support the Black Stars.
The announcement aims to clear up any misunderstandings about the visa application process. Fans should focus on meeting the standard criteria for B visa approval.
