The Black Stars of Ghana are gearing up for a challenging journey on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the qualifiers scheduled to take place from November 21, 2023, to October 14, 2025.
Ghana's path to the global football extravaganza will be paved with formidable opposition, as they are set to face off against Madagascar, Comoros, Mali, the Central African Republic, and Chad in their bid to secure a coveted spot in the tournament.
The first leg of the qualifiers kicks off from November 13 to 21, 2023, with Ghana hosting Madagascar and subsequently taking on Comoros in their second match.
Of particular interest is the showdown against Comoros, as the four-time African champions aim to settle the score with the underdogs who played a role in Ghana's exit from the last Africa Cup of Nations.
Ghana's second qualification phase is scheduled for June 3 to 11, 2024, featuring an away clash with Mali and a home fixture against the Central African Republic.
Following these matches, the Black Stars will face Chad on home turf before embarking on a journey to Madagascar as visitors from March 17 to 25, 2025.
The final stretch of qualification matches is slated for September 1 to 9, 2025, culminating in a decisive encounter against the Central African Republic and Comoros from October 6 to 14, 2025.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to grace the stadiums of Canada, the USA, and Mexico, offering football fans around the world a spectacular tournament.
