Accra is bracing for a football carnival this Sunday as the Black Stars gear up for their decisive 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Comoros — a match that could officially seal Ghana’s ticket to North America.

With excitement soaring and expectations at fever pitch, the Ministry of Sports and Recreation has rolled out strict matchday directives to ensure safety, order, and smooth access for thousands expected to flood the Accra Sports Stadium.

According to official notices, all fans must be seated by 6:00 PM ahead of the 7:00 PM kickoff, with a firm reminder that “NO TICKET, NO ACCESS.” The rule forms part of heightened security and crowd-control measures for what promises to be a high-energy evening under the floodlights.

To ease traffic congestion around the stadium, authorities have announced major diversions and security checkpoints at Osu Cemetery Traffic Lights, Independence Square intersections, and Ministries Roads. Supporters are urged to park at Independence Square and walk to the stadium.

For those yet to grab their tickets, sales are ongoing at approved outlets — including the Ministry of Sports & Recreation car park, Airport Shell, Osu Goil & Total, Nima Goil, Joy FM, Batsona Total, Achimota Shell 1 & 2, and Kaneshie Pamprom Goil — but will end strictly at 1:00 PM on matchday.

Ticket categories are as follows:
VIP – GH₵1,000
Upper VIP – GH₵500
Lower VIP – GH₵250
Centre Line – GH₵100
Popular Stand – GH₵50

The Black Stars enter this final Group I encounter brimming with confidence after their stunning 5-0 demolition of the Central African Republic in Morocco — a victory powered by goals from Mohammed Salisu, Alexander Djiku, Jordan Ayew, Thomas Partey, and Kamaldeen Sulemana.

Now sitting atop Group I with 22 points, Otto Addo’s side needs just a single point to confirm qualification. But make no mistake — Ghana will be hunting for another statement win to thrill home fans and cap off their qualifying campaign in grand style.

Come Sunday night, Accra will stop for football — and the Black Stars are ready to light up the capital once again.
