Mali head coach Tom Saintfiet has set his sights on a landmark victory as his side prepares to face Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Monday.

The Eagles, who currently occupy third place in Group I with 12 points, will lock horns with the Black Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium in a decisive Matchday 8 clash.

Saintfiet's men head into the encounter on the back of a convincing 3-0 win over Comoros in their previous outing.

Addressing the media upon Mali's arrival in Accra, the Belgian tactician acknowledged the strength of Otto Addo's Black Stars, describing them as the best team in the group.
