Former Black Stars midfielder Rabiu Mohammed has expressed confidence in Ghana’s ability to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, emphasizing that self-belief and determination will be key to their success.

With Ghana set to face Chad on March 21 at the Accra Sports Stadium before taking on Madagascar in Morocco on March 24, the team has a crucial opportunity to strengthen their qualification hopes. Currently level on points with Comoros in Group I, the Black Stars are eager to bounce back after missing out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Speaking on Akoma 87.9 FM, Rabiu highlighted the team’s talent but stressed the need for confidence.

“This Black Stars team has lost trust in itself. They have the skills and quality to compete at this level, but they need belief. I know they are capable of performing better,” he stated.

He urged the players to fight for results, saying, “Once the game starts, no matter how difficult it gets, they must fight, run, and pass the ball. Their confidence will grow, and they will give their best for Ghana.”

Rabiu remains optimistic that with the right mindset, the Black Stars can take a major step toward securing a place in the World Cup, set to be hosted in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
