Extensive travels reason for Black Stars' World Cup exit - Roger De Sa
Roger De Sa, Black Stars assistant coach, identified the demanding travel schedule as one of the biggest obstacles Ghana faced during their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign in North America. He stated, "If there was one difficulty, I think it was the travel. The cities were quite distant sometimes, in different time zones. So, that does have an effect on all the teams. The travel is a bit taxing on the players."
Ghana began the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Panama in Toronto, then traveled to Boston for their second Group H match against England. The Black Stars then headed to Philadelphia for their final group fixture, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Croatia. Despite advancing to the Round of 32, Ghana's World Cup journey ended after a 1-0 loss to Colombia in Kansas City. De Sa praised the organization of the tournament, noting "Great stadiums, great hotels, everything has been good. Good crowds, the stadiums are full." The Black Stars will now shift their focus to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which begin in September. Ghana has been drawn in Group C alongside Ivory Coast, Somalia, and The Gambia.
