Ghana’s talismanic forward, Jordan Ayew, has once again been entrusted with leading the Black Stars on football’s biggest stage — the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The seasoned Olympique Marseille striker, renowned for his pace, vision, and goal-scoring prowess, is expected to spearhead Ghana’s attack as the team aims to make a strong statement in their World Cup return.

Having captained the Black Stars for the World Cup, Ayew’s experience in European leagues and previous World Cup qualifiers positions him as the natural face of Ghana’s campaign. Fans and football analysts alike are looking forward to his leadership both on and off the pitch, as Ghana targets a deep run in the tournament.
Coach Otto Addo has praised Ayew’s commitment and professionalism, describing him as “the heartbeat of the squad and a source of inspiration for the younger players.” With the Black Stars drawn in Pot 4 for the upcoming draw, Ayew’s role will be pivotal in navigating a challenging group stage against some of the world’s elite footballing nations.
