Ghana international Mohammed Kudus has sent a stern warning to the Black Stars group opponents at the 2026 World Cup.
The Black Stars has been pitted in Group L against European giants, England, Panama and 2018 finalist, Croatia following Friday’s draw in Washington.
Ghana will open their World Cup account against Panama on June 17 in Toronto before taking on England on June 23 in Boston. The Black Stars will wrap up their group games against 2018 finalists, Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27.
And according to Kudus, who is set for his second World Cup appearance, the Black Stars qualification even justifies the teams capability heading into the tournament.
“Just qualifying for the World Cup is already a big statement from us. And it’s good that we face England in the group. It will be an exciting match. I’m looking forward to it. We fully understand the team we’ll be up against and their quality, and we will be ready for it” he said.
The 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will feature an expanded 48-team format, giving Africa a record nine automatic slots.
It will be Ghana’s fifth World Cup appearance, having previously competed in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022, with their best performance coming in 2010 when they reached the quarterfinals.
