The Ghana Football Association has selected Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island, as the official base camp for the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to reports, the university will host Ghana’s preparations for the global showpiece, which will be jointly staged by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The decision provides the team with a stable and modern training environment as they gear up for their fifth appearance at the tournament.

The Black Stars have been drawn in Group L, where they will face strong competition from:

England national football team

Croatia national football team

Panama national football team

Group L Match Schedule

June 17 – Ghana vs Panama (Toronto)

June 23 – Ghana vs England (Foxborough)

June 27 – Ghana vs Croatia (Philadelphia)

Ghana will be aiming to surpass their historic 2010 performance, when they reached the quarterfinals — the country’s best finish at the World Cup.

With a competitive group and high expectations from fans back home, setting up camp early in Rhode Island signals Ghana’s intent to prepare thoroughly and make a meaningful impact on football’s biggest stage.
