Mahama backs Black Stars to win AFCON, World Cup with squad stability
President John Dramani Mahama called for continuity in the Black Stars during an inspection of the Ho Sports Stadium. He expressed confidence that the national team could develop into a title-winning side if its current squad and technical team are retained. He stated, "I am sure that if we keep this team and we persuade the coach to continue to work with the team, by the time of the next AFCON and World Cup, we will have a team that can claim the championship in any of those two competitions."
President Mahama noted that the Black Stars had surpassed expectations by progressing beyond the group phase and reaching the Round of 32 at the recent FIFA World Cup, despite predictions of an early exit. He said the team's progress should provide the foundation for a long-term rebuilding process. His remarks come as uncertainty surrounds the future of Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz, whose contract with the Ghana Football Association is expected to expire later this month. Queiroz guided Ghana to the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and had earlier suggested he was leaving the post.
