The Black Stars will be under intense scrutiny this afternoon (Thursday) as they take on Chad in N'Djamena, a round 7 clash that could move Ghana significantly closer to securing a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Kick-off is scheduled for 1 pm.

A victory would propel Otto Addo's side six points clear at the top of Group I, placing them within touching distance of qualification before second-placed Comoros face Mali later in the evening at 7 pm.

With the group dynamics finely poised, today's encounter is seen as a pivotal moment in Ghana's campaign.
