The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has emphasised that Ghana’s technical handlers must select the best players ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana has been drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia, and Panama, opening their campaign against Panama on June 17, 2026, in Toronto, Canada.
Speaking on Sporty FM, Mr Adams stressed the importance of technical judgment over emotional selections.
“We must call up the best as I have always insisted,” the Buem MP said.
“A lot of it is emotional, but you also need technical capabilities and sound judgement. You have to decide based on performance and readiness, not just past history or popularity. The country must go with its best. Wherever we find it, the coach has my support. Whoever is responsible for the team will have my support,” he added.
After failing to advance past the group stage in Qatar 2022, the Black Stars are determined to make a strong impact at the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
