Black Stars Clash with Chad in Crucial 2026 WC Qualifier

Black Stars Set to Face Chad in Crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifier

Black Stars 1024x683 1 — Black Stars of Ghana

On Friday, March 21, at the Accra Sports Stadium, the Ghana Black Stars will play Chad in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match. This match is Coach Otto Addo’s team’s first competitive game of the year, and they are keen to bounce back from a difficult 2024 campaign.

On Monday, March 24, the Black Stars will go to Madagascar for another important qualification after their game against Chad. These consecutive games will be crucial in determining Ghana’s route to the esteemed international competition.

Following their exclusion from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, the Black Stars are seeking atonement. It was a disappointing end to their AFCON campaign as they finished last in their group after failing to win any of their six qualifying matches.

The team is now focusing its efforts on the World Cup qualifying round, where they hope to earn crucial points against Madagascar and Chad. Ghana will raise their profile and increase their chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup if they perform well in these games.

Both Ghana and Comoros have nine points from four games, putting them in a tie for first place in Group I. The Black Stars lost to Comoros, although they have won significant matches against Madagascar, Mali, and the Central African Republic.

The team is now focused on the forthcoming qualifiers and is committed to putting up a strong show, regaining their competitive advantage, and giving Ghanaian football supporters new hope.
