Ahead of the pivotal 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches next month, Ghanaian defender Alidu Seidu says he is excited to rejoin the Black Stars.
The Rennes center-back has returned to club play after missing almost a year of international duty due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Seidu disclosed throughout his recuperation that he kept a close eye on Ghana’s qualifying campaign and rejoiced in the team’s valiant 1-0 triumph over Mali following the unfortunate 1-1 tie with Chad in September.

“I supported the Black Stars from afar. I was very happy when we beat Mali because they are a strong team with big talents. I hope to join the group as fast as possible for the last two matches,” Seidu told Flashscore.
He might make his international comeback in the October doubleheader against Comoros and the Central African Republic. “Playing for the national squad is a huge accomplishment. I would sacrifice everything for the squad if I could join them in October. “That’s my goal,” he declared.
Seidu is adamant about qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the US, Mexico, and Canada. As everyone knows, Ghana is a major football-playing country. For Ghanaians as well as other players who couldn’t believe it, missing the 2025 AFCON was a letdown. We have to make it to the World Cup. We need patience because this team has a lot of young guys. In a few years, we’ll be very strong and difficult to beat.”
