Ghana
Ghana’s World Cup story is defined by dramatic moments and historic breakthroughs that cement the Black Stars as one of Africa’s most compelling tournament teams. With four appearances—2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022—the nation’s greatest run came in 2010, when Ghana reached the quarterfinals and came agonizingly close to becoming the first African team ever to reach a World Cup semifinal—falling only after a dramatic extra-time handball and a heartbreaking penalty shootout. The Black Stars became the first African team to win its opening World Cup match with a 2–0 victory over the Czech Republic in 2006. Asamoah Gyan stands as Ghana’s top World Cup scorer with six goals, a tally that also makes him Africa’s all-time leading scorer in tournament history.
