Ghana was defeated 2-1 by Croatia in their final fixture. That tally was sufficient to advance Ghana as one of the best third-placed teams across the tournament.
Prophet Testimony's prophecy
However, this development is contrary to what the man of God predicted when he appeared on Accra-based Metro TV on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, a day before the 2026 World Cup started.
Prophet Clement Testimony said Ghana would not go beyond the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
"The things that were supposed to be done were not done. So, because of that, from where I sit, I don't see them doing well."
When the presenter pressed him further to ask if he did not see Ghana beyond the group stages, Prophet Testimony responded in the affirmative.

Reactions to Prophet Testimony's failed prophecy

"When will Ghana understand that these guys just make predictions, hoping it comes to pass? These are no prophecies."
@KwesiSikaDollar wrote:
"If one prophecy of his doesn't come to pass does not necessarily imply he is fake. They see in part and prophesy in part. They are not God. Go and ask Jonah, cos God sometimes changes his mind over something."
@Trade_Mac_ said:
"These guys are just being smart and predicting based on Ghana’s form during the AFCON and the poor performance we showed in the friendlies. Swerve."
@nhyira_premium wrote:
"I say this always, when God speaks, people intervene and can approach the throne of God and petition for a change to be done. This always happens. The problem with our 'prophet' is that they don’t come to speak when the message they heard from God has changed. God can change HIS mind on a subject matter if someone worthy intervenes. Preach the Gospel of Grace and allow other things to be what they are."
@NANAGUCCHIDDB said:
"So many prophets, none of them is going to help us with the flood and corruption in our country. Oh, I just forgot most of them are corrupt too😂."
