The vice chairman of the Black Stars management committee Stephen Appiah says the players are eager to make a strong impression at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The four-time African champions will make their fifth appearance at the tournament, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico this summer.

Ghana have been drawn in Group L alongside England, Panama and Croatia.


After suffering group-stage exits at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2022 tournament in Qatar, Appiah believes the current squad is highly motivated to perform better on football’s biggest tournament.


“The players cannot wait to get to the Mundial to perform and show what they can offer the team,” the former Black Stars captain told Asempa FM.


“So I am happy as a Ghanaian, and with the support of the country, the players are determined to impress at the World Cup.”


The Black Stars will begin their campaign against Panama at BMO Field in Toronto on June 17 before facing England in Boston on June 23.


They will then conclude their group-stage matches against Croatia at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on June 27.


Meanwhile, Ghana will continue preparations for the tournament with international friendlies against Mexico on May 22 and Wales on June 2.
