Black Stars on Sunday secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeating Comoros 1-0 on Sunday night at a lively Accra Sports Stadium.
The result confirmed Ghana’s fifth appearance on football’s grandest stage, to be held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
It was a night of joy and relief in Accra, as Otto Addo’s men delivered the outcome the nation hoped for. The performance was not dazzling, but it was professional and disciplined enough to seal a memorable qualification before a sold-out home crowd.
After a quiet first half, Ghana found their breakthrough early in the second period when Mohammed Kudus tapped home from close range following a precise low cross from Thomas Partey. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the more than 35,000 fans who turned the stadium into a sea of jubilation.
Elsewhere, Mali’s emphatic win over Madagascar in Bamako ensured Ghana’s qualification was mathematically safe, but the Black Stars still finished their campaign in style. The team remained unbeaten at home and recovered impressively from their early defeat in Comoros.
The focus now shifts to December 5, when Ghana will learn their group-stage opponents for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, another chance to make their mark on the global stage.
