Black Stars back in action today in World Cup qualifiers against Central African Republic
The Black Stars of Ghana return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign today at 16:00 GMT, competing against the Central African Republic at the Stade d’Honneur de Mekne in Morocco. This pivotal match offers Ghana a critical chance to secure their spot in the 2026 tournament, scheduled to take place in North America.
By winning today, Ghana would substantially improve their prospects of confirming qualification. As the current leader of Group I with 19 points, Ghana possesses a significant advantage while remaining focused on the task ahead.
Defeating the Central African Republic would bring Ghana closer to achieving their goal, necessitating only a draw from their home match against Comoros on Sunday, October 12, to confirm qualification.
The team’s campaign has been impressive thus far, showcasing a potent blend of experience and youthful energy within the squad.
The coaching staff and players are fully cognizant of the significance of this final phase, where every point can be the decisive factor between securing a fifth World Cup appearance or falling short.
The upcoming home fixture against Comoros is poised to be decisive, as it presents a final opportunity to consolidate Ghana’s position on football’s biggest global stage.
Confidence is high that Ghana will leverage their current standing to achieve this milestone, which would further elevate Ghana’s stature in international football and inspire a new generation of players.
