Former Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has expressed optimism about the Black Stars’ chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup but insists that unity within the squad is crucial.

In an interview on Luv FM, Appiah noted that Ghana’s current standing is not bad and urged the team to resolve any lingering internal concerns, particularly the ongoing captaincy debate.

“Well, for me, the little advice I can give is I’m really happy that our position at the moment is not that bad,” Appiah said.

“Secondly, I am hoping that what I have heard is true, that they’re trying to sort out the captaincy issue. If there are other issues, I hope they resolve them, but you know I’m not with the team, so it’s not everything that I know.”

He emphasized the need for team unity, stressing that the quality of players alone will not guarantee success without harmony in the squad.

“If they’re able to sort the captaincy issue, then it’s okay, because the players we have are quality, and then we make sure there’s no division in the team.

“Without unity, we cannot achieve anything, so I hope and pray that Ghana will qualify for the World Cup,” he added.
