Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston has urged the Black Stars’ technical team to deploy scouts to closely monitor their opponents ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England, and Croatia, Ghana will face a challenging path in the tournament, which will be jointly hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
With less than six months remaining before kick-off, Kingston emphasized the importance of detailed opponent analysis.
“I believe there should be scouts assigned to every opponent the Black Stars will be facing, and that is Panama, England and Croatia,” he told SuperSports Blitz.
“Whenever these teams play, there should be someone there to monitor how they. We must be ready to invest in these scouts so they can do a good job for the Black Stars before the World Cup starts,” Kingston added.
Ghana opens their campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, meets England on June 23 in Boston, and concludes the group stage against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.
After early exits in the 2014 and 2022 editions, the Black Stars are targeting a stronger performance in the expanded 2026 tournament. Head coach Otto Addo is expected to announce the final squad on June 1.
As part of their World Cup preparations, Ghana will also face Germany in an international friendly on March 30.
