Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has expressed confidence that the Black Stars can advance beyond the group stage at the 2026 World Cup, despite being placed in a challenging Group L.
The four-time African champions will face England, Croatia, and Panama when the tournament kicks off next summer across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Speaking on the draw, Gyan acknowledged the difficulty of the group but remained upbeat about Ghana’s chances.
“It’s a tricky group. We will do our possible best to qualify from the group stage,” Gyan, who remains Ghana’s all-time leading goalscorer, said.
Gyan, who represented Ghana at three World Cups from 2006 to 2014, has six goals in the competition, making him the continent’s top scorer in World Cup history.
Ghana will start their campaign against Panama on 17 June, take on England on 23 June, and conclude the group stage against Croatia.
After a group-stage exit in Qatar 2022, the Black Stars are determined to reach the knockout rounds for the first time since 2010.
