Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams is wary of the threat posed by Croatia ahead of the 2026 World Cup tournament.
The West African football heavyweights has been paired in Group L alongside European giants, England, Panama and 2018 finalists, Croatia 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.
“Everybody knows how dangerous Croatia have been in the previous World Cup. They have had different strategies. It doesn't necessarily mean we should go and read their previous strategies as part of our preparation. They are a team that can change their style about three times within 90 minutes of play” he told Sporty FM in an interview.
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.
