CAR, Comoros tests for Black Stars in October

 Ghana will conclude their 2026 FIFA World Cup cam­paign against Comoros on Sunday, October 12, 2025, having embarked on an exciting journey that has yielded 6 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw from eight matches.

After playing eight matches in Group I, the team has accumulat­ed 19 points, solidifying their top spot in the group.

Ghana’s campaign began with a thrilling win against Madagascar at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, setting the tone for a remarkable run. However, their first loss came against Comoros, a 1-0 defeat that served as a wake-up call for the team.

The Black Stars bounced back with a hard-fought 2-1 win against Mali in Bamako, courtesy of a late goal from Jordan Ayew. Ghana continued with another gritty display against the Central African Republic, securing a 4-3 win in Kumasi to maintain a firm grip on Group I in June 2024. Jordan Ayew made headlines again after scoring a hat-trick, while Abdul Fatawu Issahaku added the fourth goal to seal the victory.

A decisive strike from Alexander Djiku in the 49th minute lifted the team to 19 points after a closely contested match against Mali. The team had dropped valuable points in N’djamena in a Matchday 7 fixture against Chad despite winning 5-0 in the reverse en­counter in Accra.

This 5-0 win over Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium showcased the team’s attacking prowess, with Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu, and Ernest Nuamah all getting on the scoresheet.

The Black Stars continued their winning ways, defeating Madagas­car 3-0 in an away match, further solidifying their position at the top of the group.

Throughout their eight matches, the team has demonstrated resil­ience and determination, adapting and overcoming challenges along the way.

As they head into the final stretch, the Black Stars will face crucial matches against Central African Republic and Comoros. Coach Otto Addo and his team will look to maintain their mo­mentum and secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

With the support of their fans and the entire nation, the team is poised to strive for their fifth World Cup appearance in Mexico, Canada, and the United States of America, aiming to make Gha­na proud and bring glory to the country.
