The United States Embassy in Ghana has issued a stern warning to Ghanaian football supporters planning to travel to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, urging them to strictly adhere to their visa conditions and avoid overstaying their authorized time in the country.
In a statement released this week, Embassy officials emphasized that failure to comply with U.S. visa regulations could lead to serious consequences, including bans on future travel, fines, or other legal actions.
The warning comes as excitement builds among Ghanaian fans preparing to witness the global football spectacle, with authorities stressing the importance of planning trips carefully and ensuring all documentation is in order.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers are expected to enforce visa rules strictly at all entry points, and travelers are being reminded that overstaying—even by a few days—can jeopardize future travel opportunities.
The Embassy also advised fans to consult official travel resources, verify their visa validity, and seek guidance before departure to avoid complications during or after the tournament.
Officials concluded by encouraging Ghanaian supporters to enjoy the tournament responsibly while fully respecting U.S. immigration laws, highlighting that compliance is essential for a smooth and trouble-free travel experience.
