As the Black Stars prepare for their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Ghana’s Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has delivered an inspiring message to the team. Speaking during their first training session in Accra, Adams declared that no team in Africa surpasses the Black Stars, urging them to secure victories against Chad and Madagascar.

Ghana, set to host Chad on March 21 at the Accra Sports Stadium before traveling to Morocco for a showdown with Madagascar on March 24, is on a mission to redeem its footballing pride. After missing out on AFCON 2025 for the first time in over two decades, the team now has a chance to restore national confidence.

With nine points in Group I, tied with Comoros, the Black Stars must deliver back-to-back wins to strengthen their chances of reaching the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico next year. Adams’ rallying cry reflects the nation’s hope that the team can rise above its recent struggles and reclaim its place among Africa’s elite.
