Ghana’s Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has expressed strong belief in the Black Stars’ ability to clinch the FIFA World Cup 2026 title.
Although Ghana will head into the tournament as the lowest-ranked side among the 48 qualified teams and has been placed in Group L alongside Panama, England, and Croatia, the Minister remains optimistic about their chances.
Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV, Adams acknowledged the team’s current state of preparation, saying, ‘‘I will say that we are preparing. If I tell you that we are ready…we don’t even have a head coach. So it means that we are not fully ready yet. But I see us being ready by the time it’s time for us to play our first game – against Panama.’’
Despite these challenges, he emphasized his confidence in the squad’s potential, adding, ‘‘This is a World Cup that I see us doing well. We should be hopeful. We may not have the best of players that we had in some time past, based on them playing together for some time. But we still have what it takes for us to go very, very far. Maybe possibly even win the World Cup.’’
Ghana will be making its fifth appearance at the World Cup, having previously competed in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022.
