Accra, Ghana - 21 March, 2025 - Ghana's national football team, the Black Stars, are gearing up for a pivotal away clash against Madagascar on Monday, March 25, in the African qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Following their resounding 5-0 victory over Chad on Friday, the Black Stars sit atop Group I, and Coach Otto Addo is determined to keep it that way.
