The officiating in Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier has sparked controversy, with calls for greater VAR transparency.
A former Premier League referee has described England as ‘extremely lucky’ and agreed with widespread claims that Ghana were robbed during their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash. The final score was not reported at press time, and specific match incidents remain unconfirmed in available reports.
The controversy centres on several refereeing decisions that allegedly went against Ghana, though details on the exact moments or decisions in question were not provided in the source material. What is clear, however, is that the match has ignited heated debate both among fans and within the football community over the standard of officiating at this stage of World Cup qualification.
For Super Eagles fans watching from Nigeria, this latest incident will feel all too familiar. Questions about refereeing consistency across African qualifiers have been a recurring theme, especially with major stakes like World Cup places on the line. The sense of injustice expressed by Ghanaian supporters resonates widely, and adds to growing calls for improved use of technology and more transparent decision-making from officials.
Neither the Ghana Football Association nor the England FA had issued an official statement on the matter at press time. The former Premier League referee’s comments have amplified scrutiny on officiating standards but no direct quotes from players or coaches were available in initial reports.
Ghana’s next fixture in their World Cup qualifying campaign is yet to be confirmed by organisers. Fans across Africa will be hoping for fairer outcomes as the race for spots at the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues.

No official statement from Harry Kane or England FA as bizarre spiritual claim stirs social media debate ahead of 2026 World Cup
A Ghanaian witch doctor has reportedly declared that he has lifted a curse he placed on England striker Harry Kane, according to unconfirmed reports circulating ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The final score, match details, and official statements were not included in available reports at press time.
The story, which has caught fire online, alleges that the spiritualist initially placed a curse on Harry Kane to affect his performance for England. Details such as when or why the curse was placed, and whether it had any impact on Kane’s recent matches or fitness, were not provided in the source material. The witch doctor is said to have now reversed his decision and freed Kane from the supposed spell, but no evidence or direct quotes were shared.
For Super Eagles fans and other African football followers, stories like this add a layer of drama and intrigue to international tournaments. While many see such claims as superstition or media hype, others treat them as part of football folklore in the run-up to major competitions like the World Cup.
Neither Harry Kane nor officials from the English Football Association had commented publicly about the alleged curse or its removal at press time. No response was available from Ghanaian football authorities either.
With Nigeria’s Super Eagles preparing for their own campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, attention will soon shift back to actual action on the pitch — with fixtures and squad announcements expected in coming weeks.
