Ghana are 90 minutes from returning to the FIFA World Cup. Otto Addo’s side top Group I and require only a draw against Comoros on Sunday to confirm a fifth finals appearance after 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2022.
Momentum is with the Black Stars after a 5â0 dismantling of Central African Republic on Wednesday, a result that kept them three points clear of Madagascar going into the last matchday.
Qualification is within reach; now it must be secured.
The match takes place on Sunday, 12 October 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium. Kick-off is 19:00 GMT.
How to watch
The game will be broadcast across Africa and beyond on beIN SPORTS and CANAL+ Afrique. L’Ãquipe Live Foot and FIFA+ will also carry coverage in selected territories, offering streaming options for fans at home and abroad.
Ghana sit top of Group I and need a single point to guarantee a place at the expanded 2026 tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Addo’s team have built this position with a strong qualifying record â seven wins, one draw and one defeat â underpinned by improved defensive control and a sharper cutting edge in attack.
Wednesday’s 5â0 win over Central African Republic was Ghana’s most complete display of the campaign, with the Black Stars combining early ruthlessness with tidy game management. It followed a consistent run that has restored belief after earlier stumbles. Comoros arrive in Accra after a 2â1 home defeat to Madagascar, a result that extinguished their faint hopes of finishing second and reaching the play-off route.
Comoros sit fourth and cannot catch Madagascar in second. That removes qualification jeopardy for the visitors, but not their motivation. The Coelacanths have grown into awkward opponents in recent years and will see this as an opportunity to spoil a party and take a statement result from the Ghanaian capital.
The fixture comes with cautionary history for Ghana. The sides met in 2016 AFCON qualifying â a 0â0 away draw before a 2â0 Ghana win at home â but Comoros stunned the Black Stars 2â1 at AFCON 2021. More recently, Comoros edged Ghana 1â0 in November 2023. Those results ensure there will be no complacency in Addo’s camp.
Margin for error: A draw is enough for Ghana, but playing for a point is risky. Expect the hosts to chase an early goal to settle nerves and tilt the evening in their favour.
Form players: Ghana’s attack has spread the goals around in recent outings, while Thomas Partey’s control in midfield has been central to protecting a back line that has tightened as the campaign has progressed.
Game state: Comoros are compact and direct on the break; the first 20 minutes are likely to be cagey, with set-pieces and transitions decisive.
A positive result returns Ghana to the world stage and caps a qualifying run rebuilt on structure, intensity and clearer roles across the side.
For supporters, it promises another chapter at a tournament where the Black Stars have made memories before â most notably the last-16 run in 2006 and the quarter-final near-miss in 2010.
For Addo and his players, Sunday is about finishing the job they have brought to the brink.
