Ghana Football Association President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku has delivered a bold declaration ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, insisting the Black Stars have travelled to the United States not merely to make up the numbers — but to challenge for the title.

Speaking at a farewell dinner held in honour of the squad at the Hilton Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia on Wednesday, Okraku addressed hundreds of Ghanaians living in the diaspora with a message of confidence and ambition.
