Mahama Applauds Black Stars’ 5-0 Victory Over Chad
President John Dramani Mahama has praised the Black Stars for their commanding 5-0 win against Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The match, played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday night, saw Ghana dominate, securing all three points in their fifth group-stage fixture. Goals from Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohamed Salifu, and Ernest Nuamah propelled the team to the top of Group I with 12 points. Following the victory, Mahama took to social media to celebrate the team’s outstanding performance, humorously noting that the win had boosted his appetite for dinner. He congratulated the players for their efforts while also reminding them to stay focused and not let the victory lead to complacency.
In his message, Mahama emphasized that the triumph should mark the beginning of rekindling national support for the Black Stars rather than fostering overconfidence. He encouraged the team to maintain their momentum as they progress in the qualification campaign. He also highlighted the importance of consistency and discipline in their quest to secure a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With their latest win, the Black Stars have reaffirmed their status as strong contenders, but Mahama cautioned that tougher challenges lay ahead. The team’s next match against Madagascar on Monday, March 24, at the Al Hoceima Grand Stadium in Morocco will be crucial in determining their standing in the qualifiers.
Ghana’s performance against Chad has sparked excitement among fans, with many hopeful that the team will continue their impressive form. Meanwhile, head coach Otto Addo has defended his lineup choices, particularly his decision to start Benjamin Asare over more experienced goalkeepers like Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Joseph Wollacott. As the team prepares for their upcoming fixture, Mahama’s message serves as both encouragement and a call for determination. Ghana’s football fans eagerly anticipate another strong performance, hoping that the Black Stars will secure their place at the 2026 World Cup and restore national pride in the team.
