Maxwell Konadu is a former assistant coach of the Black Stars
Former Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu is convinced that the current playing body has the quality to perform well at the 2026 World Cup.
The senior national team has enhanced their chances of qualifying for the tournament, which will be hosted in the USA, Canada, and Mexico in 2026, after recording back-to-back wins against Chad and Madagascar during the March 2025 international break.
Ghana secured a 5-0 win against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium before a 3-0 win against Madagascar in Morocco.
With four matches to end the qualifying series, Konadu is convinced that the Black Stars are on track to qualify for the global showpiece and added that the team will go far in the tournament.
“Talking to coaches from other countries, they believe Ghana can go far. They know the talent we have – it’s just surprising sometimes how we underperform. But if we get it right, we can make the continent proud,” Konadu told Graphic Sports.”
The Black Stars will regroup in September 2025 for their Matchday 7 and 8 games of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali before wrapping up their games against Comoros and the Central African Republic.
