A Ghana Fan supporter has become an unexpected internet sensation after a video showed him throwing white powder into the air during Ghana’s dramatic FIFA World Cup 2026 clash against Panama.

In a video sighted by Nsemwokrom.com, the fan was seen holding a container believed to contain white powder before pouring it into the air as the Black Stars searched desperately for a breakthrough in the match.

At the time of the incident, the game remained goalless and tension was growing among Ghanaian supporters as the clock ticked down.

The supporter appeared focused on the action unfolding on the pitch while performing the now-viral act, which quickly caught the attention of spectators and social media users after footage of the moment surfaced online.

What happened next only added to the excitement.

Moments after the powder was thrown into the air, Ghana found the back of the net deep into stoppage time, securing a dramatic victory over Panama in their opening match of the tournament.

The late winner immediately sent Black Stars supporters into celebration mode, but it also triggered a wave of humorous reactions online.

Many social media users jokingly credited the fan’s actions for Ghana’s victory, while others described the moment as one of the funniest scenes from the tournament so far.

The video quickly spread across TikTok, Facebook, X and Instagram, attracting millions of views and generating thousands of comments.

Many users humorously referred to the act as “juju,” suggesting that the supporter had somehow influenced the outcome of the match.

However, there is no evidence linking the fan’s actions to the result of the game, and most reactions online have been light-hearted jokes shared among football supporters.

For many Ghanaians, the moment reflected the passion and belief that supporters often bring to major football tournaments.
