Kadjebi, (O/R), Dec. 6, GNA — Residents of Kadjebi have expressed confidence in the Black Stars ability to qualify from their 2026 FIFA World Cup group.
The Black Stars have been drawn alongside England, Croatia and Panama for next year’s football showpiece being hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Mr. Raphael Nyame, an ardent football fan, described the group as “good, but England will disturb us.”

Similarly, Mr. Redeemer Hoezame, a broadcast journalist with Sankofa FM in Kadjebi District, expressed hope Ghana would “sail through,” though England remained a major concern.
