The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appointed Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz as the new head coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars.
The appointment was announced by the Executive Council of the GFA after consultations with key stakeholders. Queiroz will lead Ghana’s campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
The experienced tactician, who has previously coached clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United, is expected to bring tactical discipline and high-level expertise to the Black Stars.
Coach Queiroz will begin work immediately as Ghana prepares for the 2026 World Cup, which kicks off on June 11, 2026.
Ghana has been drawn in a tough group and will face Panama in their opening match on June 17, 2026, in Toronto, Canada, before taking on England and Croatia in the remaining group-stage fixtures.
