Ghana will struggle against every country if issues are not fixed now – Sammy Kuffour
Former Ghana defender Sammy Kuffour has issued a blunt warning about the declining state of the Black Stars, claiming that fear and a lack of tactical identity have left the national team in a precarious position.
Kuffour, a veteran of Ghana’s debut World Cup appearance in 2006, expressed deep concern over the psychological state of the current squad.
“It will get to a point, we cannot win against any country if we don’t fix things,” he warned in an interview with 3 Sports.
Highlighting the pressure and lack of confidence, he added, “Now, [when] you’re going to the stadium, you s**t in your pants before you leave.”
His comments come at a critical juncture as Ghana prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) recently appointed Carlos Queiroz as head coach to replace Otto Addo, a move Kuffour believes must be supported despite public debate.
While critical of recent tactical choices â such as a defensive “three-back” system used against Comoros â Kuffuor urged fans to unite behind the Portuguese trainer to ensure stability.
Beyond coaching, the former Bayern Munich star called for structural reforms and better scouting of dual-nationality players.
Ghana has been drawn into Group L for the upcoming tournament and is scheduled to face Panama, England, and Croatia. Queiroz is expected to be unveiled at a press conference in Accra this Thursday.
