Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus says the Black Stars are very much aware of England’s quality going into the 2026 FIFA World Cup but are poised to move shoulder to shoulder with them.
Following FIFA’s draw on December 05, 2025 England got drawn in Group L, alongside Croatia, Panama and Ghana. That means, the Black Stars face England in their fifth appearance at the World Cup.
This will be the second time Ghana is facing England in the group phase after 2006 World Cup.
With huge names and figures like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Pickford and Decline Rice set to make it to the World Cup, Kudus sends warning to England revealing Ghana knows their quality and are ready for them.
“To qualify alone to the World cup is a big statement from us and it shows what we can do. There is a bit of time, so just focus here for now.
“It’s good to have England in the group”.
Kudus added; “We fully understand the team we will be up against and their quality. We will be ready for it”.
Ghana will play England on June 23, 2026 after facing Panama on 18th June in the tournament opener.
Mohammed Kudus is one of the big names, that will be leading Ghana to the tournament set for USA, Mexico and Canada.
