As Ghana prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Sports and Reactions Minister, Kofi Adams, has emphasized the urgent need to bolster the Black Stars’ technical staff—especially in the area of video analysis. Speaking during an interview with UTV, the Member of Parliament for Buem underscored his belief that Ghana cannot rely solely on its current technical setup if the team hopes to be competitive on the world stage. “The area of the video analyst must be improved, and I don’t think we should go to the World Cup with two video analysts,” Adams stated firmly. “I have my own way, we should have video analysts at the World Cup,” he added, leaving little doubt about his stance. Currently, Belgian tactician Gregory de Grauwe serves as both the Black Stars’ sole video analyst and set-piece coach. De Grauwe, who arrived earlier this year and holds a UEFA B Licence, has been lauded for his impact, but Adams insists the workload is too heavy for one individual. According to the minister, expanding that department is essential if Ghana wants to optimize performance and ensure tactical edge during the tournament. Ghana, after qualifying for their fifth World Cup, will learn their group opponents on December 5, 2025.
