Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey has been named the JAC Motors Most Valuable Player (MVP) after delivering an outstanding performance in Ghana’s goalless draw against England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The experienced midfielder was instrumental throughout the highly anticipated Group L encounter, producing a composed display in the heart of Ghana’s midfield. Partey controlled the tempo of the game, broke up England’s attacking moves and helped the Black Stars maintain their defensive discipline against one of the tournament’s favourites.
His leadership and ability to retain possession under pressure earned widespread praise from fans and football analysts, as Ghana secured a valuable point in their quest to reach the knockout stage.
Following the match, the tournament’s sponsors, JAC Motors, presented Partey with the MVP award in recognition of his exceptional contribution. The accolade adds to an impressive World Cup campaign for the Arsenal midfielder, who has played a pivotal role in Ghana’s performances so far.
The result leaves the Black Stars in a strong position ahead of their final Group L fixture against Croatia, with qualification to the Round of 32 still within their grasp.
Partey will be expected to once again lead by example as Ghana seek a positive result to keep their World Cup dream alive.
