Black Stars forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has reaffirmed Ghana’s determination to make an impact at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite the team’s 2-1 defeat to Croatia in their final Group L match.
Speaking after the game at Lincoln Financial Field, the Coventry City striker said the squad remained united by a shared ambition to succeed and continue Ghana’s rich football legacy.
“There is a lot of ambition and hunger within the team. We want to make a name for ourselves as a nation and keep that legacy going,” he said.
Ghana progressed to the Round of 32 with four points after beating Panama, drawing with England and narrowly losing to Croatia.
Thomas-Asante’s comments echoed head coach Carlos Queiroz’s message that qualification was only the beginning of the team’s World Cup journey.
Defender Derrick Luckassen also urged the squad to remain focused, insisting the players would continue giving their best to make Ghanaians proud.
The Black Stars face unbeaten Group K winners Colombia in Kansas City on July 4.
