Black Stars’ goalkeepers’ coach Fatau Dauda has acknowledged the challenges awaiting Ghana in their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers but remains optimistic about securing victories in both matches.
The senior national team is set to regroup in September for Matchday 7 and 8 of the qualifiers. Otto Addo’s side will face Chad at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno on September 4 before returning home to host Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 8.
Reflecting on Ghana’s back-to-back wins in March, Dauda expressed confidence that the team can maintain their momentum.
“In March, we played two games and we won, and Ghanaians showed up in their numbers to support the team. But that game is past, and we have games coming up. If we want to win, we need to score and work hard,” Dauda told GHOne TV.
“We will do our very best to win the games, but I also know it will not be easy. We need to work hard. I know the opponents will be analysing us, and we will also be analysing them. At this level, it is tough, but we need to win these two games if we want to go to the World Cup, which will not be easy, but I know we can do it,” he added.
Meanwhile, coach Otto Addo is expected to name his squad for the upcoming fixtures later this week. Ghana currently leads Group I with 15 points from six matches.
