Ghana will better battling it out with England, Croatia and Panama in the 2026 FIFA World Cup after the much-awaited draw for the tournament was held at J.F Kennedy Center in Washington D.C, USA.

Ghana is making its fifth appearance at the global showpiece and the team is hoping to make a meaningful impact in the tournament slated to be hosted in USA, Canada and Mexico.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand was joined by broadcaster Samantha Johnson and a host of sporting greats, including Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Aaron Judge and Shaquille O'Neal for the draw. 

Many believe the Black Stars have been handed a tricky draw and might tend to struggle with elimination while others firmly believe they will make it to the knockout phase. 

Speaking after the draw, Otto Addo who was present at the event, says it’s possible Ghana can beat all our group opponents and also advance to the knockout phase 

"It’s a tough group but it is doable. There are other worse groups. We want to win every match and I know on a good day we can beat anyone.”

The competition will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
