Ghana defender Derrick Kohn has affirmed that the Black Stars are prepared to take on any opponent at the 2026 World Cup.
The four-time African champions, set to make their fifth appearance at football’s premier tournament, have been drawn into Group L alongside Panama, England, and Croatia.
In an interview with 3Sports, the Union Berlin left-back expressed his excitement over Ghana’s qualification and confidence in the team’s ability to compete.
“For me personally, it’s the first time to qualify for a World Cup. I’m very excited, obviously. I can’t wait for the tournament to start,” he said.
“The group is hard, obviously, it’s the World Cup, so every opponent is good. But I think Ghana is good and a big nation. We don’t have to make ourselves small; we are ready, Kohn added.
Ghana will kick off their campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, face England on June 23 in Boston, and conclude the group stage against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.
Following early exits in Brazil 2014 and Qatar 2022, the Black Stars will be eager to make a deeper run in the expanded 2026 tournament.
