Black Stars to crown 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification against Comoros
Tonight, the Black Stars will play Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium to conclude their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. local time.
Ghana needs only a draw to secure their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as they are now three points ahead of Madagascar. Unless Madagascar pulls off an unexpectedly convincing victory over Mali in Bamako, Otto Addo’s team could still win even a loss. Having defeated Madagascar both at home and away, the Black Stars enjoy the head-to-head edge and a better goal differential of +16 than Madagascar’s +8.
More than 35,000 fans are expected to fill the 40,000-capacity Accra Sports Stadium after the National Sports Authority reopened previously restricted sections and released the full ticket allocation, which sold out in record time earlier in the day.
Throughout the qualifiers, Ghana has performed flawlessly at home, winning crucial matches like a tense 1-0 victory over Mali and an exciting 4-3 victory over the Central African Republic in Kumasi. They lost to Comoros at Moroni, which was their sole loss in the campaign.
As they aim for a fifth FIFA World Cup appearance at the tournament, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico in 2026, Otto Addo’s team has the chance to secure qualification and exact revenge for that earlier loss in tonight’s match.
