Former Asante Kotoko board chairman, Herbert Mensah, has offered a frank and thought-provoking assessment of Ghana's Black Stars as the team intensifies preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Newly appointed head coach Carlos Queiroz has just 46 days to get his squad ready for the opening Group L clash against Panama on June 17 at BMO Field in Toronto, Canada.

The Portuguese tactician must submit his final 26-man squad by June 1.

Speaking to Luv FM, Mensah acknowledged Queiroz's pedigree while noting his modest World Cup record. "He does not have a great record at the World Cup, but that does not mean he's not a very accomplished coach," Mensah said.

However, the Rugby Africa president raised deeper concerns about the team's readiness, pointing to a history of administrative shortcomings.

"The Black Stars have seen this through the history of time, poor administration, and yet the players themselves try their hardest to produce something special," he noted.
