CAF has nominated all the ten countries who represented Africa during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, USA and Mexico for the Men’s National Team of the Year award at the 2026 CAF Awards.
The Black Stars are among the 10 African national teams shortlisted for the award after representing the continent at the tournament, where they progressed to the knockout stage.
Ghana collected four points from their three group matches in a challenging group that also featured England, Croatia and Panama. They opened their campaign with a victory over Panama before holding England to a draw in their second match.
However, a defeat to Croatia in their final group fixture left their qualification hopes hanging on the final standings, with Ghana eventually securing a place in the knockout stage.
Their World Cup journey came to an end in the knockout rounds following a 1-0 defeat to Colombia, but their progress beyond the group stage has earned them recognition among CAF’s nominees for the continental award.
