Ghana’s Black Stars return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign today at 16:00 GMT, taking on the Central African Republic at the Stade d’Honneur de Mekne in Morocco.
This pivotal clash is a key opportunity for Ghana to secure their place in the 2026 tournament scheduled to take place in North America. The Black Stars know a win today will put them in an excellent position to confirm qualification.
Currently leading Group I with 19 points, Ghana holds the advantage but remains focused on the task at hand.
A victory against the Central African Republic will bring Ghana closer to their goal, requiring only a draw from their home match against Comoros on Sunday, October 12, to confirm qualification.
The team’s campaign so far has been impressive, demonstrating the blend of experience and youthful energy within the squad.
The coaching staff and players understand the significance of this final phase where every point can make the difference between qualifying for a fifth World Cup appearance or falling short.
The upcoming home fixture against Comoros will likely be decisive, as it offers a final chance to cement Ghana’s place on football’s biggest global stage.
Confidence is high that Ghana will capitalize on their current standing to achieve this milestone. A successful qualification campaign would further boost Ghana’s stature in international football and inspire a new generation of players.
