As the 2026 World Cup qualifying games draw near, Ghanaians are already sharing their thoughts on the Black Stars' chances of making it to the global showpiece. Despite the disappointing performances in 2024, fans are optimistic about the team's prospects, with some making bold claims about their potential success.
The Black Stars had a lackluster 2024, with only two wins in the entire year, both of which came in World Cup qualifying games against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR). The team's performance at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast was also underwhelming, with Ghana failing to win a single game, drawing two and losing one. The year ended on a low note, with the Black Stars missing out on the 2025 AFCON tournament for the first time in 20 years.
Despite these setbacks, Ghana is still in contention for a spot in the 2026 World Cup, currently lying second in Group I with 9 points. The team will face Chad and Madagascar in March, followed by games against Chad and Mali in September. The qualifying series will conclude with matches against CAR and Comoros in October.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the qualifying games, with many expressing their hopes and expectations on social media. While some are cautiously optimistic, others are making bold predictions about the team's chances. However, it's clear that the Black Stars will need to improve their performance significantly if they hope to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
The team's recent struggles have been attributed to a combination of factors, including poor coaching, inadequate player selection, and a lack of team cohesion. However, with a new coaching staff and a revamped squad, there is hope that the Black Stars can turn their fortunes around and make a strong push for the 2026 World Cup.
As the qualifying games approach, Ghanaian fans will be watching with bated breath, hoping that their team can rise to the challenge and secure a spot in the world's biggest football tournament.
