Accra, Ghana - 21 March, 2025 - Ghana's Black Stars will look to get their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign back on track when they host Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday.

The four-time African champions have enjoyed a solid start to their qualifying campaign, claiming seven points from their four games so far to sit third in Group I. However, their recent form has been inconsistent, with the team failing to win any of their last eight matches across all competitions.

In contrast, Chad has struggled in the qualifiers, losing all four of their games and finding themselves rooted to the bottom of the Group I standings. Les Sao have scored just one goal in the qualifiers, while conceding nine, and have failed to win any of their last 11 matches across all competitions.

Ghana's coach, Otto Addo, will be looking to capitalize on Chad's poor form and secure a crucial three points in the qualifying campaign. The Black Stars have won three of their four matches in Group I, with their only defeat coming against Comoros in November 2023.

Chad's coach, Tahir Gardia, will be hoping to inspire a turnaround in his team's fortunes, but recent results offer little optimism. The team's poor performance in the qualifiers has been due in part to their lack of cutting edge in attack, and they will need to improve significantly if they are to get anything out of the match against Ghana.
