Kofi Adams Expresses Confidence in Black Stars’ World Cup Qualification
Ghana’s Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has expressed his unwavering belief in the Black Stars’ ability to secure victories in their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Adams emphasized that the team’s technical staff has assured him of their full preparedness for the critical matches. Following their disappointing failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)—marking the first time in 20 years that Ghana missed out—the national team is now determined to make a strong comeback. Their focus is now solely on qualifying for the World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. With two crucial matches against Chad and Madagascar coming up, the team understands the importance of securing maximum points to keep their qualification hopes alive.
During an interview on TV3’s Sports Station, Adams urged Ghanaians to throw their full support behind the Black Stars, emphasizing the players' dedication and readiness. He noted that he had personally observed their training session, where he saw a high level of commitment from both the players and the coaching staff. According to him, the technical team is leaving no stone unturned in their preparations, ensuring that the squad is in peak condition for the upcoming encounters. Training sessions commenced on Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium, with nine players showing up for the initial session. More players are expected to join as the team continues to fine-tune its strategies ahead of the games. Adams’ optimism reflects the national team’s determination to restore their reputation on the international stage after their recent setbacks.
The Black Stars’ campaign will begin with a match against Chad on Friday, March 21, at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT. After that, they will travel to Morocco to face Madagascar at Stade Mimoun Al Arsi on Monday, March 24. Both matches are seen as must-win fixtures, given Ghana’s current position in the qualifiers. The team aims to capitalize on these opportunities and strengthen their standing in the race for a World Cup ticket. With renewed focus, tactical adjustments, and a hunger for redemption, the Black Stars are looking to deliver strong performances that will bring them closer to their goal. As anticipation builds among fans and football analysts, all eyes will be on the team to see if they can transform their determination into tangible success on the pitch.
