The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced its ambition to reach the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking what would be a historic milestone for the nation.
In an interview with 3Sports, GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum detailed the association’s high expectations for the upcoming tournament.
”It’s our dream to make it all the way to the final. We want to qualify from the group, move to the next stage, qualify for the quarters, move to the semis, and then make it to the final,” Asante Twum stated.
The Black Stars are preparing for their fifth appearance at the global showpiece, which will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States this June. Ghana has been placed in Group I alongside Panama, former champions England, and 2018 runners-up Croatia.
As part of their immediate preparations, Ghana is scheduled to face Austria in Vienna on March 27, followed by a fixture against Germany in Stuttgart on March 30. Notably, the Austrian squad includes Kevin Danso, a player of Ghanaian heritage.
The team will conclude its pre-tournament schedule on June 2, 2026, with an international friendly against Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium.
