Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has blamed Ghana’s defeat to Colombia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the inexperience of his squad, saying the players still need time to mature and make better decisions in high-pressure matches.
Speaking after Ghana’s elimination from the tournament, Queiroz admitted that while the Black Stars have talented young players, enthusiasm alone is not enough to succeed against top teams on the world stage.
Because when you play this kind of competition at this level, you cannot only count with the enthusiasm of the youth. Enthusiasm is nice, it’s okay. It brings you a lot of spontaneous things in the game.
The Portuguese coach explained that major tournaments such as the World Cup demand composure and good decision-making, qualities that only come with experience.
“The Ghana team is a very young team. We need more experience. We need time for some players to reach what we call maturity,” he said.
