Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo has expressed confidence in Ghana’s ability to stand up to England, insisting the team has the experience needed to compete at the highest level.
The four-time African champions are set to face England on June 23 in their second Group L fixture at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a match widely viewed as a key moment in their campaign.
Speaking on All Out Football, Semenyo acknowledged the magnitude of the challenge, particularly against a side led by Thomas Tuchel, but remained optimistic about Ghana’s chances.
“I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be tough, especially against England, but we have a lot of experience,” the Manchester City forward said.
The Black Stars will begin their tournament against Panama on June 17 before concluding their group-stage fixtures against Croatia on June 27.
In preparation for the competition, Ghana will regroup in May for friendly matches, including fixtures against Mexico and Wales, with the latter scheduled for June 2.
Following disappointing early exits in 2014 and 2022, newly appointed head coach Carlos Queiroz faces the task of rebuilding momentum and guiding Ghana to a more competitive showing on the global stage.
