Ghana's coach Carlos Queiroz has hailed his team as "fantastic" as they gear up for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches. The 73-year-old Portuguese, who led Ghana to the 2026 World Cup and their first knockout stage appearance since 2010, praised the squad's unity and character that grew stronger during the World Cup tournament in North America.
Queiroz explained to the Ghana FA website that the World Cup provided valuable insights into his players, helping to build a strong national team culture. "We worked intensively on the entire process we went through during the World Cup," Queiroz stated. "It was an experience that gave us a deep understanding of the players, their qualities and their character."
The coach expressed immense pride in being part of this exceptional group. Ghana will start their Group C campaign with an away match against Côte d'Ivoire at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké on September 24th, followed by a home game against The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium three days later. The team will conclude the international window with a friendly against Morocco at the Grand Stade de Tanger on October 4th.
The Black Stars have already settled in at their training camp in Accra ahead of the three upcoming fixtures.
