The wait for an African World Cup winner continues. However, Morocco’s momentous run to the 2022 semi-finals in Qatar gave all the members of the CAF (Confederation of African Football) a boost.
Ghana were one of ten African nations who landed on North American soil in search of global glory and with their previous experience at the biggest sporting event on the planet, they were hopeful of another strong showing.
Despite losing their third and final group game against Croatia, Ghana had done enough in their first two match-ups (a win against Panama and a draw with England) to seal a knockout spot.
So now a Round of 32 clash with Colombia in Kansas City awaits the Black Stars this Friday (July 3)

What to expect from Ghana in the World Cup 2026
Ghana first announced themselves on the global scene in 2006, when making their World Cup debut in Germany. They weren't overawed by the occasion, as they clinched group wins over both the Czech Republic and the United States and became the only African side to progress to the knockouts. They would succumb to Brazil in the Round of 16, but they left a lasting impression.
The World Cup bandwagon would roll into the continent of Africa for the very first time in 2010, with South Africa hosting. Ghana backed up their debut performance from four years earlier and shone in the spotlight.
Despite only winning once during the group stage, they would progress to the knockouts, the only African nation to do so once again. With an extra-time winner against the United States, the Black Stars marched onto the quarter-finals, where they would face Uruguay. Although Ghana tested the South Americans to the limit, they bowed out bravely, but painfully, on penalties.
Ghana are hoping to rediscover some of that World Cup magic this time around, under the guidance of the experienced Carlos Queiroz, who only took over the reins in April. Despite qualifying for the 2014 and 2022 tournaments, they failed to hit the highs of 2006 and 2010 and were ousted during the group stages of both.
