Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Vice President George Afriyie has expressed confidence that the Black Stars can overcome all their opponents in Group L at the 2026 World Cup.
Ghana has been drawn alongside England, Croatia, and Panama for next summer’s tournament, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
In an interview with Asempa FM’s Sports Nite, Afriyie acknowledged the strength of Ghana’s group rivals but insisted the national team has the quality to secure victories.
“England, Croatia, and Panama are beatable,” he said.
He also emphasized the importance of organizing high-profile friendly matches as part of World Cup preparations.
“Playing high-profile friendlies is the right approach ahead of the World Cup,” Afriyie added.
The Black Stars will open their campaign against Panama in Toronto on June 17, face England in Boston on June 23, and conclude the group stage against Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27.
After consecutive group-stage exits in Brazil and Qatar, Ghana will be hoping to advance beyond the first round in 2026.
