Ghana’s Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Iddie Adams, says he remains focused and composed as the country prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, the Minister emphasized his commitment to ensuring that everything is done properly in the build-up to the global showpiece.
“I am doing everything possible to ensure that we do things the right way. I am not nervous, but I am rather calculated in doing things, and if I am convinced about what I am doing, nothing stops me,” he stated.
He also acknowledged the pressure that comes with the role but insisted it will not affect his decision-making.
“Pressure will come, but I will not let it consume me as a Sports Minister,” he added.
Ghana, four-time African champions, are set for their fifth appearance at the tournament, which will be co-hosted by United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The Black Stars have been drawn in a challenging Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama.
They will open their campaign against Panama on June 17 before facing England on June 23, and will conclude the group stage with a clash against Croatia on June 27.
