Ghana’s Black Stars jersey for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was officially unveiled in New York City, in a vibrant showcase that blended football, music and Ghanaian culture on a global stage.

The event, organised by Puma, took place in Brooklyn and drew a mix of football figures, creatives and fans, turning the launch into a celebration of Ghanaian identity. Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan was among the notable personalities present.
