Black Stars assistant coach John Paintsil has expressed strong confidence in Ghana’s ability to advance from the group stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite a challenging draw.
Ghana has been placed in Group L alongside England, 2022 World Cup semifinalists Croatia, and Panama - a lineup many have described as one of the tournament’s trickiest.
Speaking on the team’s chances, Paintsil insisted the Black Stars have what it takes to defy expectations.
“It’s a tricky group, one Ghanaians cannot underrate. Forget about the names — I believe it’s a group that will bring the best out of the team,” he said.
“Our performances in the qualifiers were fantastic. We have a squad of highly skilled players who can rise to any challenge.”
Ghana will be making its fifth appearance at the global showpiece, seeking a return to the knockout stage for the first time since 2010.
