After a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign, Ghanaian midfielder Christopher Baah Bonsu is rallying behind the Black Stars’ mission to secure a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The young star says the team is determined to restore the nation’s pride after missing out on the continental showpiece.

Ghana endured a frustrating AFCON 2025 qualification run, finishing bottom of Group F with three defeats and three draws from six games. The failure to qualify has left fans across the country disheartened.

Speaking to  Sportsblog247.com during an interview, Bonsu, who recently earned his first call-up to the national team, revealed that the squad is fully focused on the World Cup qualifiers.

> “We want to qualify for the World Cup to appease Ghanaians after missing out on AFCON 2025. For now, we are focusing on the World Cup qualification,” said the 20-year-old attacking midfielder.

The Black Stars have so far shown promise on the road to the World Cup, leading their qualifying group with 15 points from six matches. The team will resume their campaign in September with crucial fixtures against Chad and Mali.

Bonsu has returned to Ghana for the holidays after an impressive season in Belgium’s Pro League, where he featured in 38 matches for KRC Genk, netting three goals and providing four assists.

As the next round of qualifiers approaches, Ghana’s young talents — led by players like Bonsu — will be hoping to spark a revival and give fans a reason to believe once again.
