Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has appealed to Ghanaian football fans to remain patient and supportive of the national team, the technical staff, and newly appointed head coach Carlos Queiroz as preparations intensify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking during a media engagement, Ayew acknowledged the passionate nature of Ghanaian football supporters but urged them to maintain a positive outlook as the team embarks on a new chapter under the experienced Portuguese tactician.

“I know Ghana. Sometimes we take things a bit too personal, but we should be positive about the squad and manager,” Ayew stated.

The captain’s comments come amid ongoing public discussions and scrutiny surrounding the Black Stars, particularly following the appointment of Queiroz and concerns about the team’s future direction.

Ayew emphasized the importance of unity and collective support, noting that building a strong and competitive national team requires time, trust, and encouragement from supporters across the country.

Meanwhile, when asked about allegations of external influence in player selection for the national team, head coach Carlos Queiroz chose not to directly address the claims. Instead, the veteran coach responded with a brief smile, declining to comment on the matter.

His reaction has sparked further conversation among football fans and pundits, many of whom continue to debate issues surrounding transparency and decision-making within the national team setup.

As Ghana continues its preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, attention will remain focused on both the squad’s performances and the new coach’s plans to guide the Black Stars back to the highest level of international football.

For now, Jordan Ayew’s message is clear: patience, positivity, and support will be crucial as the team works toward achieving its World Cup ambitions.
