The Black Stars of Ghana have been dealt a huge setback in the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This follows the Ghana national team's inability to overcome Chad in their Round 7 encounter in Group I of the African qualifiers.

Ghana faced off with Chad on Thursday afternoon at Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno, looking to secure a sixth win of the qualification campaign.

In a game against a side that has lost all six games in the qualifiers, the Black Stars dominated the early proceedings and broke the deadlock of the contest in the 17th minute.
