Asamoah warns of quality gap in Black Stars ahead of 2026 World Cup
Kwadwo Asamoah warned of a "quality gap" ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. Asamoah told 3Sports, "All these players that we are going to meet at the World Cup, the majority of them are playing in the Champions League, playing for bigger clubs, so to play countries like that during the World Cup won't be easy."
Ghana is preparing for their fifth appearance at the World Cup and have been drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama. The Black Stars are targeting a stronger showing after exiting at the group stage in both 2014 and 2022. Head coach Carlos Queiroz is expected to announce his final squad on June 1. Asamoah also highlighted England's recent progress, describing them as a well-organised and dangerous side, adding, "England has been good in the past few years, having the new coach with them. They are playing very good football."
Ghana will open their campaign against Panama on June 17 before taking on England on June 23, and then concluding their group fixtures against Croatia on June 27. The Black Stars will fine-tune preparations with international friendlies against Mexico later this month and Wales on June 2.
