2026 Amputee World Cup: We are coming home as world champions despite Angola defeat – Black Challenge coach
Ghana's Black Challenge head coach Richard Stephen Obeng remains confident his side can win the 2026 Amputee Football World Cup despite suffering a 2-0 defeat to Angola in their opening Group D encounter in Mexico on Saturday.
The Black Challenge, Ghana's amputee football team, will return home as world champions despite their opening defeat, according to their coach Eric Obeng. The team, two-time African champions, suffered a surprising loss in their preliminary match. Obeng expressed shock at the result but emphasized their determination to improve and rectify mistakes.
He cited Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph as motivation, stating that even when starting poorly, a team can still emerge victorious. Obeng urged Ghanaians to maintain faith in the team and their ambition of winning the World Cup. The Black Challenge will now focus on their upcoming Group D matches against Colombia and Iraq, aiming to bounce back and reclaim their position as champions.
