Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has expressed confidence in Ghana’s chances ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Ayew, who missed Monday’s session, was part of the second group of players to join training on Tuesday. He was appointed team captain by coach Otto Addo before the World Cup qualifiers.
At 33, Ayew is one of Ghana’s most experienced players, having debuted for the national team in 2010. With 109 appearances for the Black Stars, his commitment and availability for the team over the past decade stand as a testament to his dedication.
Although Ayew was previously not part of Otto Addo’s leadership group, he has embraced his new role as captain. Speaking to the gathered crowd after Tuesday’s training, he assured Ghanaians of a positive result against Chad.
