Forson Amankwah targets World Cup qualification with Black Stars

Norwich City midfielder Forson Amankwah has set his sights on representing Ghana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Black Stars are edging closer to securing their spot in the tournament, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico next year.

Ghana’s qualification hopes were boosted earlier this year with consecutive victories over Chad and Madagascar during Matchdays 5 and 6 in March.

Having made his senior national team debut just a year ago, Amankwah is determined to be part of the squad that competes on football’s biggest stage.

“Definitely, I’m dreaming of going to the World Cup because if you’re a football player, especially a young player playing in the World Cup says a lot,” he told Flashscore.

“I think it’s really good to be part, because I want to be part, so I need to do everything to be part of the squad,” he added.

The Black Stars are scheduled to face Chad and Mali in the upcoming Matchday 7 and 8 fixtures this September, before concluding their qualifying campaign against Comoros and the Central African Republic in October.

Currently, Ghana leads Group I with 15 points, positioning themselves well for a return to the World Cup after several campaigns.
