Carlos Queiroz set for Ghana arrival ahead of official Black Stars unveiling

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed that newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz will soon arrive in the country for his official unveiling.

GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum disclosed that the experienced Portuguese tactician is expected in the coming days, where he will formally present his vision for the senior national team.

Queiroz, who has previously managed Egypt, Colombia and Oman, has been handed a short-term deal to lead Ghana into the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.

The 73-year-old takes over from Otto Addo, who was relieved of his duties in March following back-to-back friendly defeats to Austria and Germany.

Speaking on Asempa FM, Asante Twum outlined plans for the coach’s introduction, stressing that the unveiling will offer the public and media an opportunity to hear directly from Queiroz.

“In the next few days, Carlos Queiroz will arrive in Ghana to be properly unveiled, where he will personally tell us his plans and his expectations, and his ambitions for the team," he said.

“We have only made his statement to us public, but he will be unveiled and made available to the press to answer questions, and then we will make progress from there,” Asante Twum added.

Queiroz is expected to begin work with the squad next month, starting with an international friendly against Mexico, before concluding preparations with a clash against Wales on June 2.

Ghana, preparing for their fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup, have been drawn in Group L. The Black Stars will open their campaign against Panama on June 17, followed by matches against England and Croatia.

After early exits at the 2014 tournament in Brazil and the 2022 edition in Qatar, Queiroz faces the task of rebuilding confidence and steering Ghana to a stronger showing on the global stage.
