2026 World Cup qualifiers: ‘The hope is to qualify’ – Asamoah Gyan on Ghana’s group

Africa’s leading World Cup goalscorer, Asamoah Gyan, says Ghana’s Black Stars are used to booking their place at the Mundial and, therefore, he is hopeful that the team will do so once again.

Ghana have been at every World Cup since 2006 except 2018, and will be expecting to book a place in the 2026 edition as well.

To do that, Ghana will have to navigate Group I in the qualifiers, facing off against Mali, Madagascar, Central African Republic, Comoros and Chad.

Speaking after Thursday’s draw, Gyan said expectations are high in Ghana because the Black Stars have become used to qualifying for the global showpiece.

It looks like we’re getting used to the World Cup

The qualifying series will begin on November 13, 2023.
