Former Ghana international striker Asamoah Gyan has expressed his main expectation for the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, stating that his priority is simply for the team to progress beyond the group stage.
Gyan acknowledged that Ghana has been placed in a challenging group alongside strong teams like England, Croatia, and Panama. While he considers England the favorites, he remains optimistic that Ghana has what it takes to advance to the next round.
He emphasized that the team should stay focused on qualification rather than being overwhelmed by the strength of their opponents. Ghana is set to begin their campaign against Panama before facing England in their second match.
Overall, Gyan’s message reflects cautious confidence—recognizing the difficulty of the group but maintaining belief that the Black Stars can make it past the first stage of the tournament
