Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mohammed Kudus says he is looking forward to the clash between Ghana and England at the 2026 World Cup tournament.
The West African football heavyweights were drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama following Friday’s draw in Washington.
Ghana will open their World Cup account against Panama on June 17 in Toronto before taking on England on June 23 in Boston. The Black Stars will wrap up their group games against 2018 finalists, Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27.
However, Kudus, who is set for his second World Cup appearance insists the Black Stars are prepared for the challenge against England.
"Just qualifying for the World Cup is already a big statement from us. And it's good that we face England in the group. It will be an exciting match. I'm looking forward to it. We fully understand the team we'll be up against and their quality, and we will be ready for it” he said.
The 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will feature an expanded 48-team format, giving Africa a record nine automatic slots.
It will be Ghana’s fifth World Cup appearance, having previously competed in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022, with their best performance coming in 2010 when they reached the quarterfinals.
