Elisha Owusu Eyes 2026 World Cup Dream with Ghana Despite Injury Setback

Ghanaian midfielder Elisha Owusu has expressed his deep desire to represent the Black Stars at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, describing it as the pinnacle of every footballer’s career.

Speaking with conviction, Owusu revealed that he is working tirelessly each day with one goal in mind—earning a spot in Ghana’s World Cup squad next year.

“I train every day and work hard to try and be in the squad for the tournament next year,” he said, underlining his commitment to both fitness and form. “Playing in the World Cup is a childhood dream for me, and I’m determined to make it happen.”

The 26-year-old’s journey hit a bump in March 2025 when he was ruled out of Ghana’s World Cup qualifiers due to injury. However, his optimism remains intact. Owusu is focused on returning to full fitness and contributing to the national team’s success as they aim to book their place at the global showpiece.

Currently, Ghana sits atop Group I in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers—a position that strengthens their hopes of securing a spot in the tournament set to take place across the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

While Owusu watches from the sidelines for now, his passion for donning the Black Stars jersey on football’s grandest stage burns brighter than ever.
