The United States Embassy in Ghana has organized a training workshop for sports journalists and bloggers ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
More than 30 media practitioners participated in the session, which focused on improving coverage of the tournament through training in reporting guidelines, storytelling, and trends in sports journalism.
Facilitators included Henry Asante Twum of the Ghana Football Association, as well as journalists Gary Al-Smith and Eva Okyere.
Participants were taken through FIFA media regulations, ethical reporting, and how to develop story ideas before, during, and after the tournament. The training also highlighted digital storytelling and audience engagement.
The Embassy says the initiative is part of efforts to strengthen sports journalism in Ghana ahead of the World Cup.
Chargé d’Affaires, Rolf Olson also urged journalists and fans to apply early for visas to avoid delays. He also advised them to respect visa conditions, warning that overstaying could affect future travel.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
