The 2026 World Cup draw takes place on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 5 pm, with a new format that separates the top four seeds; Spain, Argentina, France and England, ensuring they cannot meet before the semifinals.

The expanded 48-team tournament features 12 groups, and Ghana, placed in Pot 4, is guaranteed a tough path with one global powerhouse and two strong opponents from Pots 2 and 3.

Possible groups range from nightmare scenarios like France, Japan and Norway to more manageable ones such as Canada, Australia and Panama.

Confederal rules mean Ghana cannot face another African team in the group stage, narrowing but not easing their options.
