According to statement by the GBC, the rights were obtained with the support of the Government of Ghana, with\u00a0additional\u00a0authorised\u00a0television stations also granted\u00a0licences\u00a0to air the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of the\u00a0authorised\u00a0partners under the Ghana TV Consortium, licensed by FIFA through New World TV and GBC, include Max TV, Sporty TV, TV3, Onua TV, UTV, Metro TV, Original\u00a0TV\u00a0and\u00a0Woezor\u00a0TV, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fulfilment of the Government of Ghana\u2019s commitment to ensuring all Ghanaians have access to the world most prestigious football tournament, and to follow the progress of the Black Stars, GBC has established a National Broadcast Consortium for the broadcast of the world cup matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
