World Cup 2026: Black Stars keen on putting on a good show for Ghana and Africa – Jordan Ayew

Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has assured that the team is determined to put on a good show for Ghana and the rest of Africa when they play at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Ayew is leading the Black Stars to this year’s World Cup, after starring in the qualifiers as the top scorer and top assist provider.

Speaking ahead of a friendly against Wales on Tuesday, June 2, the versatile striker opened up on training so far, adding that the Black Stars will surprise people at the World Cup.

“We have a lot of new players, and we just want to improve. We just want to go there and put on a show and represent Africa and Ghana the best we can. And I am confident that with the manager's ideas and the boys' commitment, I am sure that we will surprise people,” Ayew said.

The match between Ghana and Wales is scheduled to kick off at 6:45 pm on Tuesday.

For a match that will be the first test for Carlos Queiroz since his appointment as Black Stars head coach, a lot of eyes will be watching from both home and abroad.
