NSA Scraps E-Ticketing for Ghana vs. Chad World Cup Qualifier
In a surprising turn of events, the Ministry for Sports and Recreation, via the National Sports Authority (NSA), has decided to temporarily suspend the use of its e-ticketing platform for the highly anticipated 2026 World Cup Qualifier between Ghana and Chad. Fans planning to attend the match at the Accra Sports Stadium will now need to purchase printed tickets at the gates.
This decision marks a significant shift from Ghana’s initial embrace of digital ticketing, which was first implemented in 2022 during a World Cup playoff match against Nigeria at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. Unfortunately, the system has faced multiple challenges over the years, including failures to verify tickets purchased online and ongoing issues with internet connectivity.
As of now, the NSA has not announced specific locations where fans can buy tickets for the match, leaving many supporters eager for updates. The Black Stars are set to face Chad on Friday, March 21, 2025, at 7 PM, and fans are eager to rally behind their team.
Ticket prices for the match have been set as follows:
– VVIP – GH₵200
– VIP – GH₵150
– Lower VIP – GH₵100
– Osu Stand – GH₵20
– Popular Stand – GH₵10
This change highlights ongoing concerns regarding the effectiveness of the e-ticketing system, which many hoped would streamline the ticket purchasing process.
The NSA’s decision reflects a commitment to ensuring that all fans have access to tickets, albeit through more traditional means.
