There are high expectations for the Black Stars ahead of the World Cup, and we need players with high intensity, commitment, and the ability to deliver on the big stage — Countryman Songo charges Carlos Queiroz.
One-on-one with Vincent Ekow Assafuah, MP for Old Tafo and Ranking Member of the Sports Committee: "As of 10 a.m. on Monday, 18th May 2026, the Finance Ministry had not released any funds for the Accra 2026 African Senior Athletics Championships. I challenge Kofi Adams to come out and deny this."
One-on-one with Sports Minister Kofi Adams: “Dede Ayew is one of our great players. Having him in the team is like having an extra player and coach on the pitch.”

“There's nothing extraordinary about Carlos Queiroz. Some of us are just remaining calm because of the Black Stars' World Cup ambition. So stop the cap and boo stories and make his salary public so everyone is fully informed. Why should it be revealed later?” — Countryman Songo blasts Sports Minister Kofi Adams.
Relegation does not diminish Jordan Ayew's Black Stars captaincy; he continues to prove his value and remains fit to play for the team. - Countryman Songo
“We anticipate Black Stars making the World Cup semis; we trust in your pedigree and years of experience in the game to deliver." - Countryman Songo tells Carlos Queiroz.
Listen to their takes...
“Ghanaians anticipate that you will work magic with the Black Stars. With your pedigree, we want you to take the team to the semi-finals of the World Cup. We have invested too much into this team, and the country wants to see you deliver.” - Countryman Songo to Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz
It's not about reputation or pedigree... Black Stars' new coach Carlos Queiroz must deliver results or come under scrutiny. His past glory is none of our business. - Countryman Songo
It's not about Carlos Queiroz's big name; it's about results on the pitch. Ghana needs performance, not reputation. - Countryman Songo.
Ghanaians share thoughts on Black Stars' new coach, Carlos Queiroz.
Black Stars managerial role does not require appearance fee money; it is a waste of money—they are not players. - Countryman Songo
Black Stars' next coach must have a proven track record... tried and tested, and only a qualified person for the appointment. - Countryman Songo urges GFA
The next Black Stars coach must be bold, a man of his word, guided by truth, and independent enough to select players based on merit. - Countryman Songo
Next Black Stars coach must be about results... we must get it right this time. - Countryman Songo
"Blind trust behind ineffective coaches for the Black Stars... we must be more strategic with our next hire." - Countryman Songo addresses Otto Addo's sack.
If our World Cup participation is not about competing for the trophy but only to make up the numbers, then the funds invested should instead be used to create jobs for the youth. - Countryman Songo
We want real players for the World Cup, not cowboys who only make the quantity but lack quality. - Countryman Songo cautions Black Stars' technical team
Black Stars' fundraising for the World Cup must come with accountability and transparency... This can't be another fund spent lavishly with no account. - Countryman Songo
“The Black Stars' friendlies against Austria and Germany are serious business. We expect them to give their best so we can assess our strength and know our fate for the World Cup." - Countryman Songo
Even our local players are better. The Black Stars squad for the Germany and Austria friendlies raises concerns; some players aren't exceptional. - Countryman Songo
Is our league truly competitive and attractive enough to match other world leagues and produce players good enough to earn call-ups to the national team? Kobby Stonnes asks.
“Black Stars World Cup squad selection must be based on merit, not favoritism, politics, or fame.” - Countryman Songo
"We're going to the World Cup to give our best. We want to put on a show and hopefully achieve the results we are aiming for. We are not going to the USA just to make up the numbers." - Jordan Ayew, Black Stars Captain
Ghana football keeps retrogressing and lacks direction; it needs a strong national development plan. - Countryman Songo.
Is the Black Stars' budget to win the trophy or just to cover blame if they fail? Big money doesn't guarantee results. - Countryman Songo
