Former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, Fred Pappoe, has emphasized the urgent need to summon our best talents as Ghana strives to secure qualification for the highly anticipated 2026 World Cup.
With aspirations running high, Pappoe's call to rally the finest players signals a pivotal moment in Ghanaian football, igniting hopes of a triumphant campaign. As the nation gears up for the qualifiers, all eyes are on the football fraternity's response to this plea.
Ghana has been paired with Mali, Madagascar, Central African Republic, Comoros, and Chad in Group I of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
"I will say we can qualify it is not because of who we are going to play because now the game in Africa has leveled up. Sometimes we Ghanaians don't see it like that and accept it like that. To me the best way that our chances to qualify will be brighter is to prepare well within FIFA rules," he told Peace FM as monitored by Footballghana.com
"Because you won't get time to camp for 3 weeks or 4 weeks you don't have that chance that thing is no more. A match will coincide with when they have ended their league when the leagues are on recess like the way now the European leagues are on recess. Even that the boys will be going back to their teams so the preparation players won't be available for you the players will also be released 4 or 5 days before a match,"
"So what we need to do is to make sure if we are calling the 25 or 26 we will call it should be our very best that at any particular point in time they are playing actively in their various teams. Because we won't get time for the coach to train them for a certain period of time it is just going to be our they will jelly together and other things. We just have to call our best we just have to approach it with our best,"
