Black Stars midfielder Kwasi Sibo confident Ghana can make history at 2026 World Cup says he firmly believes Ghana have what it takes to make a serious impact at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, describing the current squad as one of the most united groups he has ever been part of.
Ghana sealed their fifth World Cup appearance after topping Group I of the African qualifiers with an impressive 25 points, bouncing back strongly from the disappointment of missing out on qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The four-time African champions famously reached the quarterfinals in 2010, but have since fallen short, exiting at the group stage in both Brazil 2014 and Qatar 2022.
However, Sibo is confident the tide will turn when the global showpiece kicks off across the United States, Canada, and Mexico next year.
“This team can really achieve big in the World Cup,” Sibo told JoySports. “The [players] I’ve trained with are doing well at their various clubs in Europe. This team is more united, and when a team is united, it’s really hard to beat. We’re all together, making jokes, and that makes a team really strong.”
The Real Oviedo midfielder has quietly cemented his place in the national setup, featuring prominently in Ghana’s recent victories over Mali, Central African Republic, and Comoros.
Sibo is widely expected to be part of coach Otto Addo’s final squad for the World Cup but will first look to impress during Ghana’s Asian tour in November, where the Black Stars will test their mettle against Japan and South Korea in key warm-up fixtures.
