Asamoah Gyan of Ghana is becoming more accustomed to competing at the World Cup.
After the West African nation learned their group in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Asamoah Gyan of Ghana stated that his country is starting to grow used to the World Cup.
The Black Stars, together with Mali, Madagascar, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Chad, have been placed in Group I for this competition.
Gyan, who has since retired as the country's all-time leading scorer, was one of the CAF luminaries who oversaw the draw for the 2026 World Cup African qualifiers, which took place on Thursday in Ivory Coast.
Despite the fact that Ghana is placed in a difficult group, the former captain of Ghana continues to be optimistic about his country's chances.
"I think we have been consistent since 2006, when we qualified for the first time to 2022, except in 2018, when we did not qualify," he added. "Since 2006, when we qualified for the first time to 2022."
"I think we (Ghana) are getting used to the World Cup and the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup are not going to be easy, expectations are high, but we will try our possible to ensure that we qualify for the World Cup," he added. "I think we (Ghana) are getting used to the World Cup."
The four-time African champions are looking to make their fifth appearance in the FIFA World Cup after making their debut in 2006, 2010, 2014, and the most recent tournament, which took place in Qatar last year.
Because Mali, Madagascar, Central African Republic, Comoros, and Chad have never qualified for the finals of the global showpiece, the Black Stars are the only team in Group I that has ever made it to the finals of the competition.
Each of the nine groups will compete against one another in a round-robin fashion, with home and away matches, and the winners of each group will advance directly to the FIFA World Cup 26.
After that, the runners-up from the four best groups will fight against one another in a play-off stage to determine which team will represent CAF at the FIFA playoff competition.
The FIFA play-off event will feature one team from each of FIFA's six confederations, with the exception of UEFA, in addition to one additional team from the confederation that will be hosting the tournament (Concacaf).
The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be used to determine the seeding for two of the six teams in the competition.
The teams that were seeded will compete against the winners of the first two knockout games that were played between the four teams that were not seeds for the chance to compete in the FIFA World Cup.
