DopeNation has paid a courtesy visit to Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), as part of efforts to support Ghana’s journey towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The twin music duo shared details of the meeting in a social media post on Tuesday, May 20, after meeting the GFA President a day earlier on Monday, May 19.
According to DopeNation, discussions during the visit focused on possible collaborations between Ghana’s music and football industries in a bid to rally support for the Ghana national football team, popularly known as the Black Stars, ahead of the global tournament.
“We paid a courtesy visit to the president of the Ghana Football Association, Mr Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” the duo wrote.
“As part of our vision to supporting the cause, we expressed our gratitude to the president and further discussed possible avenues for a partnership, merging Ghana music with Ghana football.”
The music group also revealed that the meeting ended on a light-hearted and entertaining note, joking that they enjoyed the GFA President’s “Swingi ma me” moment during the interaction.
The visit highlights the growing connection between Ghana’s entertainment and sports sectors as musicians continue to show strong support for national football activities and the Black Stars ahead of major international competitions.
Over the years, Ghanaian musicians have played an important role in supporting national teams through campaign songs, public endorsements and performances aimed at boosting morale among supporters and players.
DopeNation’s involvement adds to the increasing number of celebrities publicly backing Ghana’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The duo, known for hit songs and energetic performances, has continued to gain international attention, especially with their current trending song “Kakalika,” which has been making waves globally.
Fans on social media have since praised the initiative, with many describing the partnership between music and football as a positive move capable of uniting Ghanaians ahead of the tournament.
Others also applauded the GFA for engaging creatives and entertainers as part of efforts to build stronger national support around the Black Stars.
The Black Stars remain one of Ghana’s most passionately followed national teams, with expectations already building ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
As preparations continue, collaborations between sports and entertainment figures are expected to play a major role in energising fans and promoting national unity behind the team.
