The Black Stars have officially begun their training camp ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with key players Mohammed Salisu and Kamaldeen Sulemana among the early arrivals. The team is preparing for crucial upcoming matches as they seek to secure a spot in the next World Cup.
The camp, which opened in Accra, has welcomed several players, with more expected to join in the coming days. Salisu, who plays for AS Monaco, and Kamaldeen, who plies his trade with Southampton, were among the first foreign-based players to report. Their presence signals their commitment to Ghana’s qualification campaign.
Head coach Otto Addo and his technical team have outlined an intensive training program to ensure the team is in top form. The sessions will focus on tactical drills, fitness, and team cohesion as the Black Stars prepare to face their opponents in the qualifiers.
Speaking ahead of the training sessions, coach Otto Addo emphasized the importance of early preparation. “We have crucial games ahead, and we need to be in the best possible shape. Every player must be mentally and physically ready for the challenge,” he stated.
Ghana’s qualification campaign is expected to be competitive, with strong opposition from other African nations. The Black Stars are determined to bounce back after their disappointing exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup and their recent struggles in international competitions.
As more players arrive in camp, the coaching staff will assess their fitness levels and work on strategies to strengthen the squad. The team’s leadership, including captain Andre Ayew, is also expected to play a key role in motivating the players ahead of the qualifiers.
Fans have expressed excitement about the team’s preparations, with many hopeful that Ghana will return to the World Cup stage in 2026. The Black Stars have a rich history in the tournament, having made memorable appearances, including their historic quarter-final run in 2010.
With training now in full swing, all eyes are on the Black Stars as they gear up for their first qualifying matches. The team will be looking to make a strong statement and take an early advantage in their quest for a World Cup ticket.
