The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has reaffirmed Ghana’s ambition to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, insisting the Black Stars remain firmly in contention as the tournament progresses.
Ghana have advanced to the Round of 32 after finishing third in Group L, collecting four points from a 1-0 win over Panama, a goalless draw with England, and a 2-1 defeat to Croatia.
The result sets up a knockout clash with Colombia as the team continues its campaign in North America.
Speaking on Sporty FM, Adams traced the team’s journey through the competition and maintained that belief inside the camp remains unshaken despite the tougher challenges ahead.
“When we started, we were 48, and we were confident that we are also chasing the trophy. Now the numbers have been reduced by 16, and 32 are going to the next round. We still think that we are heading towards clinching the trophy,” he said.
The Buem MP added that Ghana expect to keep progressing through each stage of the tournament.
“Some have started falling out, and I know we will be part of the 16 who will continue to chase, and we will be part of the eight who will continue to chase, and then eventually to the two. So that is our project. That is what we are working towards, and I want us to focus on this.”
The Black Stars are scheduled to travel to Kansas City ahead of their Round of 32 fixture against Colombia on Saturday, July 4.
