By Emmanuel Austin Baah Last updated Apr 22, 2026

A huge crowd of Ghanaian football supporters gathered at the Kotoka International Airport on Wednesday night to give newly appointed Carlos Queiroz a rousing welcome as he arrived in the country ahead of his official unveiling.

Fans dressed in the national colours, waving flags, beating drums and chanting in celebration, turned the arrival hall into a lively scene as excitement continued to build around the return of the experienced Portuguese tactician.

Queiroz is expected to be formally introduced to the media and the public on Thursday, where he will outline his plans for the Ghana national football team. His appointment comes at a crucial time, with Ghana preparing for the decisive stages of the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The veteran coach, who has managed several national teams and worked at the highest level of international football, has been tasked with restoring confidence and guiding the Black Stars back to the global stage.

Supporters at the airport expressed optimism that Queiroz’s vast experience, tactical discipline and winning mentality could help revive Ghana’s fortunes after a difficult period for the national side.

His arrival signals the start of a new chapter for Ghanaian football, as the nation rallies behind its team in pursuit of qualification for the World Cup finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
