Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has expressed his deepest sympathies to victims of the devastating floods that recently affected parts of Accra, assuring Ghanaians that the national team stands in solidarity with those impacted.
In a statement issued on behalf of himself, his technical team and the entire Black Stars squad currently in the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Queiroz said the team was heartbroken by the images and reports emerging from the capital.
He extended his condolences to families who have lost loved ones, those displaced from their homes and everyone affected by the disaster.
“Even though we are here preparing for our World Cup match against Colombia, our thoughts have not left Ghana,” he said.
The Portuguese coach stressed that football becomes secondary in moments of national tragedy, adding that the pain of Accra is shared by the entire nation.
“In moments like this, we are reminded that football is secondary. Ghana is one family. When Accra suffers, we all suffer,” the statement read.
Queiroz also revealed that the Black Stars would carry the people of Accra in their hearts when they take to the field against Colombia at Kansas City Stadium on July 3, promising that the team would give its all in an effort to inspire hope during the difficult period.
He concluded by encouraging affected residents to remain resilient.
“Stay strong, Accra. Stay strong, Ghana. We stand with you,” he said.
