The veteran coach criticized the increase in the number of teams
Although Ghana finished third in their group and qualified for the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz has strongly attacked the new format of the tournament, which he believes has made it less competitive.
After the 2-1 defeat by Croatia, Queiroz said the World Cup had “lost a lot of value” with 48 teams, criticizing the tournament designed by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

Queiros continued in statements reported by the network “Radio Monte Carlo” “Even electoral meetings in Europe and Africa have lost their meaning, because their number has become too many. Today it is money that talks and it is no longer called football but it has become “money”.
The 2026 World Cup is the biggest ever, after increasing the number of teams from 32 to 48 and hosting 104 matches split between the 3 host countries (USA, Canada and Mexico).
