On Sunday, June 7, 2026, Kofi Adams stormed the man of God's church, believed to seek spiritual help for the Black Stars of Ghana ahead of their appearance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

In a video seen on social media, the Minister was spotted receiving prayers and deliverance.

Hon. Kofi Iddie Adam, while addressing the congregation, stated that Ghana’s final match against Croatia would be held in Philadelphia, the city by which the Believer’s Worship Centre is nicknamed after, seeing it as a sign of God’s providence.

The Sports Minister's visit immediately went viral, sparking criticisms from sports fans, who believed the players needed adequate preparation to win their games rather than seeking spiritual assistance.

The Twitter video of Kofi Adams at Adom Kyei Duah’s church is below.

Adom Kyei Duah blasts critics

Addressing his congregants on Sunday, June 14, 2026, Adom Kyei Duah, who sounded angry, fired shots at those backlashing him for praying for the Ghana Black Stars.

According to him, if the Minister had gone to the two famous dawn prayer groups, Alpha Hour and Mogpa, he believes they wouldn't have received the same “negative response” from Ghana.

“If the Sports Minister went to Mogpa, would they have been lashed out at? If he had visited Alpha Hour, would they have been criticised? This is common sense,” he said.
“It's more like they want to do politics with this incident, and I know everything,” he added.
