It’s official! FIFA has confirmed the dates for Ghana’s next battles on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Coach Otto Addo and his in-form Black Stars are gearing up for two high-stakes encounters that could edge them closer to another historic qualification.

The journey resumes on Thursday, September 4, when Ghana travels to N’Djamena to take on Chad at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno, with kickoff at 13:00 GMT. It’s an away test that demands full focus and fire.

Then comes the heavyweight clash back home. On Monday, September 8, Ghana welcomes Mali to the Accra Sports Stadium under the floodlights for a 19:00 GMT kickoff. With qualification on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Ghana currently leads Group I with 15 points from six matches, closely followed by Comoros (12 points) and Madagascar (10 points). Every point now counts as the race tightens.

With the final qualifying matches coming in October, September’s double-header could be the decisive chapter in Ghana’s World Cup dream.

Will the Black Stars rise under pressure or stumble at the summit? The whole nation watches.
