At the Stade d’Honneur de Mekne in Morocco, Ghana’s Black Stars will play their first match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign against the Central African Republic today at 16:00 GMT.

This crucial match is Ghana’s best chance to guarantee their spot in the 2026 competition, which will be held in North America. The Black Stars are aware that they will be in a great position to guarantee qualifying if they win today.
Ghana has the edge and is still focused on the task at hand despite leading Group I with 19 points.
Ghana would just need to draw their home game against Comoros on Sunday, October 12, to guarantee qualification, therefore a win over the Central African Republic would move them closer to their objective.
The team’s successful campaign thus far demonstrates the team’s blend of youthful vigor and expertise. The players and coaching staff recognize the importance of this last stage, where each point can determine whether they advance to their fifth World Cup or not.
Since it’s Ghana’s last opportunity to secure a spot on the greatest international football platform, the forthcoming home match against Comoros is probably going to be pivotal.
The likelihood that Ghana will leverage their existing position to reach this milestone is high. A successful qualifying campaign would encourage a new generation of players and enhance Ghana’s reputation in international football.
