World Cup 2026: “Ghana can qualify from “tricky” group” – Asamoah Gyan

Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has admitted that the West African nation finds itself in a “tricky” group of the 2026 FIFA World Cup but remains confident of qualifying to the next stage.

The 2010 quarter finalists were drawn alongside England, Croatia and Panama in Group L following Friday’s ceremony at the John K Kennedy Centre of Performing Arts in Washington DC.

Asmoah Gyan, who is Africa’s all-time top scorer at the FIFA World Cup with six goals, reacted to the group shortly after the final draw.

“It’s a very tricky group right now and all the four teams want to qualify and definitely everybody back home wants Ghana to qualify so we will do our possible best to qualify for the next stage,” he said after the final draw.

England enter the competition as one of the title contenders, while Croatia’s recent record includes a World Cup final in 2018 and a semi-final in 2022. Panama completes the group as the CONCACAF representatives.

Gyan who featured at three World Cups in 2006, 2010 and 2014 is Ghana’s all-time leading scorer with 51 goals.
