2026 WCQ: Sports Minister urges support for Black Stars

Black Stars celebrate Djiku's goal against Mali

Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has called on Ghanaians to rally behind the Black Stars as they prepare for their decisive 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches next month.

Ghana will travel to Morocco to face the Central African Republic before hosting Comoros in their final Group I fixtures.

The four-time African champions go into the encounters at the top of the group, following a draw against Chad and a crucial win over Mali during the September international window.

“In three weeks, we will be going to Morocco to face the Central African Republic, and we will take three points from there also and come home to deal with Comoros,” said Adams, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Buem.

He urged citizens to maintain their unwavering support for the national team as they aim to book their place at the global tournament, which will be staged across the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

“Ghanaians should continue to pray for the team. Ghanaians should continue to do everything humanly possible to make sure that the Black Stars of Ghana are part of the nation’s teams that will assemble for the World Cup,” he added.

The Black Stars currently lead Group I with 19 points and need just one more victory to confirm qualification for a fifth World Cup, having previously appeared at Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, and Qatar 2022.
