Speaking during a visit to the Black Stars camp, Ablakwa commended the Portuguese tactician for his leadership, discipline, and the positive impact he has had on the team since taking charge.
“We couldn’t have asked for any better coach,” the minister stated, expressing confidence in Queiroz’s ability to guide Ghana to greater success on the world stage.
Ablakwa’s remarks come at a time when the Black Stars have earned widespread praise for their performances at the tournament, including a hard-fought draw against England that boosted the team’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stages.

With Ghana still in contention for a place in the Round of 32, Ablakwa expressed optimism that the team can continue making the nation proud and achieve a memorable run at the World Cup.
