2026 World Cup: Queiroz Backs Ghana To Grow Stronger Ahead Of England Clash

Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz is confident the Black Stars will keep improving as their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign gathers momentum.

The West Africans opened their tournament with a narrow 1-0 win over Panama, with Caleb Yirenkyi striking late to secure all three points and hand Ghana a winning start.

Despite the win, Queiroz believes there is still plenty more to come from his side as they adapt to a new tactical approach and build stronger chemistry on the pitch.

“We are growing as a team,” Queiroz was quoted by Ghanasoccernet.com.

“We are playing with a different system, and our attacking style is built around the qualities of our players. The understanding between the players is improving with every game, and I am confident we will continue to develop as the tournament progresses.”

The coach stressed his desire to see Ghana play with greater speed and directness as the competition progresses.

“We want vertical football and full-speed action. Step by step, the players will improve and adjust to each other,” he said.

Ghana currently occupy second place in Group L, behind England, who began their campaign with a win over Croatia.

The Black Stars now face a major test when they take on England at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday night, June 23.
