Coach Kwasi Appiah reveals the things Ghana must do to qualify for 2026 World Cup

He added that, along with the ongoing captaincy debate, all other concerns should also be addressed.

He argued that the Black Stars will need unity to succeed in the qualifiers, adding that he hopes to see Ghana secure a ticket to the World Cup.

“I am hoping that what I have heard is true, that they’re trying to sort out the captaincy issue. If there are other issues, I hope they resolve them,” Appiah said, as quoted by GhanaSoccernet.

“Without unity, we cannot achieve anything, so I hope and pray that Ghana will qualify for the World Cup,” he added.

The Black Stars’ leadership has undergone restructuring after the captain’s armband was handed to two different players over four games in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers in the absence of substantive captain Andre Ayew and his deputy, Thomas Partey.

According to reports, Jordan Ayew has been named the main skipper, with Alexander Djiku as his deputy.

The new leadership are set to take effect during the World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar in March 2025.
