Ghana – 2026

This was magic. One of my more memorable games without question. Ghana world cup fans in Toronto were treated to the most electric of evenings and I was so happy to be there.

And it helps to get a bit of context.

Ghana fans were drawn to Sankofa Square because they were hosting Ghana fun fest and watch party. It sounded like a fun place to take photos, I’d never seen a game watch at the square before, and the larger the gathering the better. I knew things were going to be interesting when I noticed they had the game on going up the escalator in Eaton Centre.

As for the gathering itself, it was amazing. Many thousands gathered, and had gathered well before I had arrived. It didn’t help that despite all the screens in the square, they used the smallest and lowest screen, so viewing was limited.

I felt obligated to go up to a nearby building to look down on the crowd to give a sense of the gathering.

That’s when I decided to get out of the rain and back to the screen in the Eaton Centre to see if anything was going on in there. I wasn’t alone in this idea. Here is a photo from the floor, and another photo from the store window looking down at the crowd gather inside the foyer of the mall.

I spent the whole second half in the mall, and magically, in extra time, Ghana scored. It was loud and chaotic and everything I love about this project. Goal scoring shots below.
