The Black Stars of Ghana are poised to wrap up their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign on Sunday, October 12, 2025, with a clash against Comoros after playing against Central Africa Republic on the 8th of October in Morocco. The match will mark the end of an exhilarating journey through Group I, where Ghana has established itself as a dominant force, amassing 19 points from eight matches,the best in the group.
The West African giants have recorded six wins, one draw, and a single defeat so far, putting them on the cusp of a return to the world’s biggest football stage. Their campaign has been defined by resilience, key individual performances, and a collective hunger to restore Ghana’s place among global football’s elite.
Black Stars kicked off their qualification run with a thrilling victory over Madagascar at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi a performance that set the tone for what has been an impressive campaign. However, the team suffered a surprising early setback, falling 1-0 to Comoros in their second match. That loss proved to be a crucial wake-up call for the team and sparked a renewed sense of urgency.
The Black Stars bounced back strongly with a gutsy 2-1 win away to Mali, secured by a late goal from captain Jordan Ayew. Their momentum continued in June 2024 with a dramatic 4-3 triumph over the Central African Republic in Kumasi. Ayew once again stole the headlines with a superb hat-trick, while Abdul Fatawu Issahaku added a vital goal to secure all three points.
In subsequent matches, Ghana demonstrated both flair and composure. A commanding 5-0 home win over Chad in Accra, with goals from Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu, and Ernest Nuamah underscored the team’s attacking depth. However, they were held to a frustrating draw away in N’Djamena during the reverse fixture, dropping valuable points on Matchday 7.
Despite that minor slip, the Black Stars regrouped and produced a professional performance in their 3-0 away win against Madagascar, before edging past Mali once more thanks to a decisive 49th-minute strike from Alexander Djiku.
With two crucial matches remaining against the Central African Republic and Comoros, Coach Otto Addo and his squad know that qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is within reach. The team has shown maturity and tactical growth throughout the campaign, adapting to pressure and consistently delivering results when it matters most.
Their final group match against Comoros carries added significance, not only due to the earlier loss but also because a win could seal Ghana’s return to the World Cup for the fifth time. The tournament, to be co-hosted by Mexico, Canada, and the United States, offers a global platform and Ghana is eager to be there.
