Tribe Culture Fest and its director, Nana Boateng Gyimah, deny receiving $611,000 from individuals in connection with assistance linked to 2026 World Cup visas. Gyimah says payments to the organisation were for contracted services invoiced at $3,000 and $2,000, not individual transactions, according to MyJoyOnline.

Tribe Culture Fest and its chief executive, Nana Boateng Gyimah, have denied receiving $611,000 from individuals in connection with a case involving 2026 World Cup visas. Gyimah said on Sunday at a press conference that neither he nor the organisation had received any money matching the allegations, according to MyJoyOnline.

The executive also rejected claims attributed to Ghana’s Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, saying they were not based on established facts. The denial comes as Ghana’s New Patriotic Party calls for an investigation into the handling of 2026 World Cup visas, according to Ghana’s NPP.
