Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has declared that his team is ready to make Ghanaians proud by winning as many games as possible at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking at a send-off party as the team departed for their base in Rhode Island, the Portuguese tactician expressed confidence in his squad ahead of a challenging Group L that includes England, Croatia, and Panama.
“On behalf of my boys, I just can as a coach guarantee that when you finish the games, you would want to be proud of them; I am sure of that,” Queiroz said.
“The great goal that we have in mind… our duty and our goal is to make people happy, and the more you can make more people happy if you win, and we are ready to do that.”
Queiroz is heading to the World Cup for the fifth time in his career, having previously led Iran at multiple tournaments. Appointed as Black Stars head coach in April, he has had limited time to prepare but insists his team is ready.
Ghana open their campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto before facing England in Boston on June 23 and Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27.
For Queiroz, the mission is simple: win games, make people happy, and give Ghanaians a team to be proud of.
