Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku has declared that the Black Stars will not enter the 2026 FIFA World Cup as underdogs, asserting that the team is prepared to face global giants with total confidence.
Speaking at a high-profile fundraising launch at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra on Friday, March 20, Okraku addressed a crowd of corporate leaders and government officials, including President John Dramani Mahama.
During his address, Okraku struck a defiant tone regarding Ghana’s Group L opponents.
“We will not go into this tournament as underdogs. We fear no foe,” Okraku stated.
“And believe me, when this team lines up against Panama, against England, and against Croatia, Ghana football will speak.”
The fundraising event saw immediate momentum, with major pledges coming from corporate entities like Engineers & Planners and Goldfields Ghana, alongside contributions from music icons Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale.
With the World Cup opener against Panama set for June 17 in Toronto, Okraku’s remarks serve as a bold statement of intent for a nation eyeing a deep run in the tournament.
