2026 World Cup: I expect a good draw for Ghana - GFA president Kurt Okraku

Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku is confident the Black Stars will benefit from a favourable group when the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw takes place later today in Washington, D.C.

Ghana, already assured of its place at next year’s global tournament, will learn its group-stage opponents at the ceremony hosted at the John F. Kennedy Center.

Looking ahead to the draw, Okraku expressed optimism that a positive outcome will lay the foundation for the team’s preparations.

“I expect Ghana to get a good group, and I expect us to move to the next level of preparations after the draw. I expect us to do well,” he said.

Following their disappointing group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Black Stars are determined to secure a better run on the world stage next summer.

The four-time African champions enter the draw in Pot 4, making the prospect of a challenging group highly likely.

Okraku is joined in the United States by GFA Executive Council member Randy Abbey, head coach Otto Addo and other officials as they await the outcome of the draw.
