Kurt Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association, really wants the Black Stars, Ghana’s national football team, to make it to every World Cup. He’s especially hopeful about the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in Mexico, Canada, and the USA. Right now, Ghana’s performance in their group games has been a bit up and down. They won one and lost one, earning them three points in Group I.
The team had a close win against Madagascar at the Baba Yara Stadium, but then they faced a setback with a loss to Comoros. What made it tougher was that Comoros had beaten the Black Stars in their recent matches, including a close 1-0 win in the second match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers at the Stade Malouzini in Moroni.
Comoros is leading Group I with a perfect six points from two games. Despite this, Okraku, speaking at a press event in Kumasi, stressed how crucial it is for the Black Stars to make it to every World Cup. He promised to do all he can to ensure Ghana’s place in the global tournament. “I want our Black Stars to be at every global mundial at every given opportunity,” he said. He called for everyone’s support, saying, “I call on you to support us to qualify for the World Cup in USA, Mexico, and Canada. Again, collectively, with your support, we shall get there.”
Okraku’s determination shows how committed he is to Ghanaian football’s success worldwide. Despite recent losses, he’s focused on the bigger picture of consistently getting Ghana to the World Cup. He knows it’s essential for showcasing Ghana’s football talent and bringing the nation together behind the Black Stars.
Getting to the 2026 World Cup won’t be easy, though. There’s tough competition from other African teams also aiming for a spot in the tournament. But Okraku’s leadership gives hope and motivation to players, fans, and everyone involved in Ghanaian football. They’re all working hard to overcome challenges and make their World Cup dreams a reality.
Alongside Okraku’s call for support, there’s a renewed determination within the Ghanaian football community to back the Black Stars. With the right plans, dedication, and teamwork, Ghana has a chance to qualify for the 2026 World Cup and leave a mark on the global stage.
As they gear up for the qualifiers, Okraku and the Ghana Football Association are leaving no stone unturned to support the national team. They’re focusing on everything from grassroots development to forming strategic partnerships, all aimed at ensuring Ghana’s success in the upcoming World Cup campaign.
In the end, reaching the World Cup is a team effort. It needs unity, resilience, and unwavering determination from everyone involved. With Okraku’s leadership and the support of the entire Ghanaian football community, the Black Stars have a good shot at making it to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
