The Ghana Football Association has confirmed that the Accra Sports Stadium has been approved by the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) to host Ghana’s crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Chad on March 19, 2025.
The Black Stars currently sit second in Group I, level on points with leaders Comoros, with nine points from four matches.
This will be the Black Stars’ fifth game of the qualifiers, having already lost one against leaders Comoros and won three against Mali, Madagascar, and the Central African Republic.
The match will also mark the first confrontation between the two teams, and as such, the crowd could be a significant factor.
With the GFA announcing a revamped technical team, the squad will be hoping to turn their fortunes around after failing to secure wins in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, thereby missing out on the tournament.
A trip to Morocco to face Madagascar, a team the Black Stars defeated in the first round of the qualifying games, follows on 22 March 2025.
