Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has called on Ghana to draw lessons from previous experiences as the country prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Black Stars secured their place in the upcoming tournament after topping Group I with 25 points, following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, courtesy of a decisive goal from Mohammed Kudus.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Adams, who is also the Member of Parliament for Buem, described the qualification as a prime opportunity to showcase Ghana on the global stage.
“The World Cup is an opportunity to sell Ghana to the world, so we have to prepare well for this tournament. In terms of packaging and hospitality, we need to get everything right.
Adams emphasized the importance of learning from past experiences in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022.
“We need to learn from previous mistakes in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022. We should go to the World Cup and represent Ghana well, and this should involve everybody. And if we are able to do it right, we will benefit from this World Cup,” he added.
Ghana’s qualification marks the country’s fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup since their debut in 2006.
The four-time African champions will now turn their attention to preparations for the 2026 tournament, with the official draw scheduled for December 5, 2025, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
