Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku, has declared enormous confidence in the ability of the Black Stars to excel at the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The men's senior national team will be making their fifth appearance at the global showpiece later in June, hoping to qualify for the knockout stages for the first time since 2010.

Ghana exited the group stages of their last two participations in the tournament.

Speaking at the launch of the fundraising campaign, Kurt is optimistic the narrative will be different.

“Today, we are very confident that the intangible assets that we have produced over time, the intangible assets that have been put together by coach [Otto] Addo and his team, we will make Ghana proud.

“We will go into this tournament with our chest up, ready to fight for the strip and ready to change our story. We fear no foe and believe me, Ghana football will speak," Okraku added.

Ghana is paired with England, Croatia, and Panama in Group L.

As part of preparations, the Black Stars will face Austria on March 27 at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium, before taking on Germany in their second friendly on March 30 in Stuttgart.

The team will then travel to North America for a friendly against Mexico on May 22 at a venue yet to be announced, before wrapping up against Wales on June 2.
