Black Stars should work on their “fear factor” in the upcoming games.
Nii Lante Vanderpuye, the former minister for Youth and Sports, has warned Ghana Black Stars to step up their performances and not let their recent wins downplay the strength of their next 2026 World Cup qualifier matches.
Despite the victories over Chad and Madagascar, 5-0 and 3-0, respectively, the former minister seems unimpressed by their performances; Vanderpuye remains unconvinced about the team’s overall development.

“I want to see a Ghana national team that will strike fear or put every other team on alert that they are playing Ghana, whether you are Argentina or Brazil,” Vanderpuye emphasised.
Despite the huge score lines, he voiced worries about the team’s development, saying that the two games played thus far show no signs of growth.
With 15 points, Ghana leads Group I, and the wins have increased the team’s chances of making it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Vanderpuye’s remarks emphasize how important it is for the Black Stars to create a “fear factor” in order to be a strong opponent in future games.
