The Black Stars have arrived in Philadelphia as they step up preparations for their decisive final Group L match against Croatia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana travelled from Rhode Island on Thursday after completing recovery sessions following Tuesday’s impressive goalless draw against England, a result that kept Carlos Queiroz’s side firmly on course for a place in the knockout stages.
The Black Stars head into Saturday’s encounter with four points from their opening two matches after beating Panama 1-0 before holding England to a draw.
Their performances have earned widespread praise, particularly for their defensive organisation and tactical discipline under Queiroz, who has guided Ghana through an unbeaten start to the tournament.
Attention now turns to Lincoln Financial Field, where the Black Stars will hold their final training session before facing Croatia in a winner-takes-all contest.
A victory would guarantee Ghana a place in the Round of 32 for the first time since their memorable run to the quarter-finals at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
With qualification within touching distance, confidence continues to grow inside the Ghana camp as the Black Stars prepare for what promises to be their biggest test of the tournament so far.
Supporters are expected to turn out in large numbers in Philadelphia, hoping to inspire the four-time African champions to another memorable World Cup performance and a return to the knockout stages.
