Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has lauded President John Mahama, the Ghana Football Association (GFA), and the playing body following the Black Stars’ qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The national team sealed their spot at next year’s global showpiece — to be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico — after a determined 1–0 victory over Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday night. The result saw Ghana top Group I with 35 points.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Mr Adams, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Buem, expressed immense satisfaction with the team’s achievement and praised all those who played a role in securing qualification.
"I have always been excited, whether I am in charge or not. Whether my government is in power or not. The feeling I have is not different from the previous World Cup qualification," Adams said.
"I will want to thank President Mahama and the entire country for their support.
"There were issues, but they still came out to support the team. Even playing away, you still see fans there. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the technical team all contributed to this success."
Mr. Adams further commended the Black Stars for their commitment and resilience, describing their effort as “wonderful.”
"Again, the players have been wonderful and they played a key role in getting this qualification," he added.
Ghana’s latest qualification marks their fifth appearance at the FIFA World Cup since making their debut in 2006.
The four-time African champions will now turn their attention to preparations for the 2026 tournament, with the official draw scheduled to take place at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
