Captain Jordan Ayew has underlined the Black Stars’ unwavering determination to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, vowing that the team will approach their remaining matches with a winning mentality.

Ghana currently leads Group I with 15 points after crucial back-to-back victories in March against Chad and Madagascar. With four games left in the campaign, the team is determined not to take their foot off the pedal.

Speaking to the Ghana FA media team, Ayew expressed optimism about Ghana’s chances of making it to their fifth World Cup but warned that the job is far from done.

“I think we have a very good chance of making it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” said the Leicester City forward. “The team fought hard for the points against Chad and Madagascar in March, and that has put us in a very good place on top of the table.”

Looking ahead, Ayew stressed the importance of staying focused.
“But it is not yet over. We have four more matches to play, and we are focused on winning them,” he said.

The Black Stars will face Chad and Mali in September before wrapping up their qualifiers in October with games against Comoros and the Central African Republic.

“It won’t be easy against Chad and Mali in September, and the same goes for Central African Republic and Comoros,” Ayew added. “But with this kind of mentality and team spirit, we will succeed.”

Ghana will be aiming to return to the global stage after their last World Cup appearance in Qatar in 2022.
