Ghana have been placed in Pot 4 for the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage draw, which will take place in Washington DC on 5 December.
The Black Stars join Jordan, Cabo Verde, Curaçao, Haiti, New Zealand, the four UEFA play-off winners, and the two FIFA Play-Off Tournament qualifiers in Pot 4.
Their placement reflects their position among the lowest-ranked African teams to have qualified for the expanded 48-team tournament.
Other African representatives occupy higher pots. Morocco and Senegal are in Pot 2, while Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Côte d’Ivoire and South Africa form part of Pot 3.
Based on the draw procedures, Ghana are likely to face a top-ranked nation from Pot 1 such as Spain, Argentina or England, alongside a Pot 2 team like Croatia, Japan or old foes Uruguay, depending on how the draw unfolds.
The format ensures that no group will contain more than one African team.
Ghana qualified for the World Cup after finishing their Group I campaign with 25 points. They topped a zone that included Mali, Madagascar, Chad, the Central African Republic and Comoros.
The Black Stars will discover their opponents after the draw on December 5.
