Chairman of Ghana’s Parliamentary Sports Committee, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has expressed strong confidence in newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz, highlighting the Portuguese tactician’s tactical discipline as a key asset that will drive the team forward at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Queiroz was named Ghana’s head coach following the dismissal of Otto Addo, signing a four-month contract with an option to extend. He will lead the Black Stars in Group L against England, Panama, and Croatia."He comes to the table with a wealth of experience, and I think his tactical discipline will propel the team," Norgbey said."I’m sure even the players will also have the kind of respect for him because this is a coach with international rating."The veteran Portuguese manager, who has previously coached Real Madrid, Iran, and Egypt, faces the immediate challenge of preparing Ghana for the World Cup, which kicks off on June 11 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.Ghana’s campaign begins on June 17 against Panama in Toronto.

Chairman of Ghana’s Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has expressed strong confidence that the vast experience and international pedigree of newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz will naturally compel players to adhere to his instructions on and off the pitch.Norgbey believes the 73-year-old Portuguese tactician’s résumé—which includes managing Real Madrid, leading Iran to two World Cups, and taking Egypt to the global stage—carries a weight that few coaches in African football can match. That authority, he argued, will translate into discipline and compliance from the Black Stars squad.“He comes to the table with a wealth of experience, and I think his tactical discipline will propel the team. I’m sure even the players will also have the kind of respect for him because this is a coach with an international rating," Norgbey said.Queiroz, who has taken four different nations to the FIFA World Cup, was appointed on a four-month contract with an option to extend. He replaces Otto Addo following Ghana’s poor run of friendly results and failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.Norgbey argued that the timing of the appointment, though close to the tournament, is less of...

In the wake of the armed robbery attack on Berekum Chelsea’s team bus that claimed the life of midfielder Dominic Frimpong, Bibiani GoldStars administrative manager Joseph Oti-Manu has detailed the safety protocols his club has already implemented to protect players on long-distance travel.Oti-Manu spoke exclusively to Citi Sports after Gold Stars provided a bus to assist Berekum Chelsea’s return journey following the tragic incident. He revealed that his club has adopted a policy of overnight stays for trips exceeding three hours.“Any travel that is more than three hours from Bibiani after the game, we should sleep over it. We have decided to make it a point, and we started this before this incident. This season we went to Wenchi, we slept; we went to Tamale, we slept… till the next day, and we come back,” Oti-Manu said.“For safety reasons, it really helps the club very well, and it helps our players relax as well because moving a far trip and coming back the same night is very risky.”The Berekum Chelsea team bus was attacked on the Bibiani–Goaso road at Ashiresu as the players returned from a 1–0 defeat to FC Samartex in Samreboi during a Week...

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Vice President Fred Pappoe has called on Ghanaians to throw their full support behind newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz as the team intensifies preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.The Portuguese tactician has been handed a short-term contract to lead Ghana at the tournament, replacing Otto Addo after a difficult run of results that included defeats to Austria and Germany in March, as well as Ghana's failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.Speaking on Adom FM, Pappoe stressed the importance of unity and collective backing given the limited time before the World Cup.“We have limited time for the World Cup, and if you look into the list available and you check our pocket, I believe we have to rally behind whoever has been appointed,” he said.Pappoe added that Queiroz’s extensive experience—including four World Cup appearances—should be seen as a major advantage rather than a point of criticism.“We were all clamouring for a respected coach, and someone who can transform the team has been chosen, so we must support him,” Pappoe stated.Queiroz is expected to meet the Black Stars squad next month during a...

Portuguese tactician Carlos Queiroz is confident Ghana will enjoy a successful campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.According to his agent, Tadeo Martins, this is one of the key reasons why the veteran agreed to take charge as head coach of the Black Stars."Firstly, because he believes in the ambition of the Ghanaian national team to achieve outstanding results in the World Cup, and secondly, because he wants to participate in the tournament for the fifth time in his career,” Martins told Kooora in an interview as quoted by Africasoccer.In the interview, the agent clarified the speculation that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has tasked Carlos Queiroz to lead the Black Stars to the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as a requirement for a contract extension. According to Martins, the report is false."This is completely unfounded... This is a ridiculous rumour, and I don't know why anyone would write such a thing,” Carlos Queiroz's agent said.The Ghana FA announced the appointment of the former Egypt coach as head coach of the Black Stars for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.He replaces Otto Addo, who was sacked by the Ghana FA after four consecutive...

Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo has once again been targeted by racist abuse online, intensifying concerns around repeated discrimination against the player following high-profile matches in England.The latest incident occurred after Manchester City secured a 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a match in which the 26-year-old featured for the full duration and contributed to a dominant performance.Shortly after the game, Semenyo shared a celebratory post on Instagram, which was met with a deeply offensive comment that quickly sparked outrage across social media platforms.The message read: "By the time you sit at the bench for about 15 game's you will know how to play football you black monkey."Semenyo, who has previously been subjected to similar incidents, responded succinctly on his own platform with the words, “It’s started again…”, a remark widely interpreted as a reference to the earlier abuse he endured in December 2025 while playing for Bournemouth following a defeat to Liverpool.Semenyo, who joined Manchester City from Bournemouth in January 2026, has enjoyed an impressive start to life at the Etihad, scoring 15 league goals and playing a key role in their Carabao Cup triumph.

Ghanaian forward Joseph Opoku admitted to being caught off guard by the wave of criticism and abuse he faced just a week prior despite securing a vital brace to keep Zulte Waregem in the Belgian top tier.The 20-year-old found himself at the center of a social media storm following a high-profile missed chance against Cercle Brugge, an experience he described as a surprising test of his professional character.The young winger, who has been a standout performer since joining from Great Corinthians, expressed a sense of shock at how quickly sentiment turned after one difficult moment on the pitch.However, rather than letting the backlash derail his season, Opoku used the 2-1 victory over FCV Dender to transform that external pressure into clinical efficiency.His two second-half goals not only silenced his detractors but also propelled "Essevee" to the top of the relegation playoff table.Reflecting on the psychological toll of the past week, Opoku emphasized the need for mental toughness in the modern game."I was shocked by how they reacted to me. Many people make fun of it, but as a top player, you know, I already knew I’m a top player.“So, as a top player,...

Ghanaian forward Joseph Opoku has expressed his relief and satisfaction after scoring a match-winning brace for Zulte Waregem, just one week after facing intense criticism and online abuse.The 20-year-old winger proved to be the hero in the Belgian Pro League relegation playoffs, netting twice in the second half to secure a vital 2-1 away victory over FCV Dender.The performance served as a direct response to a difficult period for the former Great Corinthians star.Following a high-profile missed chance in a 1-1 draw against Cercle Brugge the previous week, Opoku became the target of significant backlash from fans.However, his composure at the Dender Football Complex—scoring in the 55th and 62nd minutes—has now placed Zulte Waregem at the top of the playoff table, securing their top-flight survival.Reflecting on his redemption, Opoku noted that the negativity served as fuel rather than a distraction."I’m very happy because last week I got a lot of criticism after the chance I missed," Opoku said after the game."As a player, that keeps you going. This makes me tough, and I just keep calm in my head. I scored two goals, so I’m happy with the bounce back."Since joining the...
