2026 World Cup: I am convinced Ghana can beat Croatia – Winfried Schafer
Former Ghana technical advisor Winfried Schafer has expressed confidence that the Black Stars are capable of defeating Croatia in their final Group L match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana face the 2018 World Cup finalists on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field, with progression to the knockout stage still within reach.
A draw would be enough to secure qualification, but Schafer believes the team has the quality to go further.
"The squad has a lot of quality, and if they can unleash it at the right moment, I'm convinced they can beat Croatia," he told Transfermarkt.
Ghana began their campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Panama before earning a goalless draw against England.
The results leave both sides level on four points heading into the final round of group fixtures.
Victory against Croatia would send Ghana into the knockout phase for the first time since 2010, marking a significant milestone in their World Cup journey.
