Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus is optimistic that the current Black Stars squad can exceed the nation’s historic 2010 World Cup achievement.
The 2010 tournament in South Africa remains Ghana’s most successful World Cup campaign, with the team reaching the quarter-finals.
The Black Stars came agonizingly close to a semi-final berth, eventually bowing out to Uruguay in a dramatic penalty shootout.
However, Kudus believes the new generation has the potential to go even further.
“We have to qualify at all costs, and I think we’re on the right path now,” the Tottenham attacker said.
“In the 2010 World Cup, we went all the way to the quarter-final and u believe this squad can do more than that. But first we have to qualify, and then we can focus on the tournament,” he added.
Ghana currently needs four points from their final two qualifiers against Central African Republic and Comoros to secure a spot at the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The Black Stars are set to open camp in Casablanca ahead of their match against CAR on Wednesday, October 8, before returning home to host Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 12.
