Ghana has natural and unbelievable football talent - Roger De Sa

Black Stars assistant coach Roger De Sa has praised Ghana’s depth of football talent, describing the country’s pool of players as “unbelievable” despite limited resources and infrastructure.
De Sa, who has been confirmed as part of Carlos Queiroz’s technical team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup following Otto Addo’s dismissal in March, expressed admiration for what he has seen since joining the setup.
Speaking on the Beyond The Whistle podcast, the former Bafana Bafana assistant coach said Ghana continues to produce exceptional talent even under challenging conditions.
“There is so much natural talent in Ghana despite limited resources. As an African football lover, the talent here is unbelievable. You guys don’t know what you have with limited facilities and infrastructure,” he said.
He drew a comparison with South Africa, noting that while both countries possess quality players, their development environments differ significantly.
“We in South Africa have talent too, but a different kind with all the facilities. Yet we don’t go forward with our talent."
Ghana will head into the 2026 World Cup in North America placed in Group L alongside Panama, England and Croatia.
The Black Stars begin their campaign against Panama at BMO Field in Toronto on June 17, before facing England in Boston on June 23. Their final group match will be against Croatia at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on June 27.
Ahead of the tournament, Ghana will step up preparations with international friendlies against Mexico on May 22 and Wales on June 2 as they aim to secure progression to the knockout stage.
