Accra, Ghana – As the Black Stars gear up for their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers, they are set to receive a special visitor. Former President John Dramani Mahama is expected to attend the team’s closed-door training session on Wednesday, offering words of encouragement ahead of their must-win clash against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on March 21.

With the session strictly off-limits to the media and public, head coach Otto Addo will use the time to fine-tune his squad after a disappointing run that saw Ghana miss out on AFCON 2025. Mahama’s visit is seen as a timely morale booster, aiming to reignite the team’s confidence as they prepare for their second qualifier against Madagascar in Morocco three days later.

Ghana’s hopes of making it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup rest on these upcoming matches, and the presence of a national leader could provide the psychological edge they need to bounce back stronger.
