World Cup 2026: We want to win every single game at the tournament – Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz

Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz says his outfit will do their best to win every single game at the 2026 World Cup tournament, co-hosted in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The global showpiece kick-started on Thursday, June 11, 2026, with Ghana expected to open their account against Panama on July 17.

Ghana are set for their fifth World Cup appearance, after booking a place for the expanded tournament co-hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The West African football heavyweights are paired in Group L against European giants, England, 2018 World Cup finalists, Croatia and Panama.

After the Panama clash, the Black Stars will lock horns with England and Croatia respectively.

“Our expectation is to go out, play the best football and win every single game. We carry the hopes and dreams of millions of people on our shoulders, and we want to make them proud,” he said after arriving on Rhodes Island.

Queiroz is heading to the World Cup for the fifth time in his career, having previously led Iran at multiple tournaments. Appointed as Black Stars head coach in April, he has had limited time to prepare but insists his team is ready.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars enters the competition seeking its first qualification for the World Cup knockout stages since the memorable 2010 tournament in South Africa.

Ghana has previously competed in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022, with their best performance coming in 2010 when they reached the quarterfinals.
