The Black Stars will host the Eagles of Mali on Monday, September 8, 2025
The Black Stars have assured the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, and the entire Ghanaian population of victory ahead of their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying game against Mali.
In a high-stake clash on Monday, September 8, 2025, the West African football heavyweights will play host to the Eagles of Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium, with victory crucial to the teams’ qualification chances.
The Black Stars’ hopes of securing an early qualification to the Mundial suffered a minor setback following a disappointing draw at Chad on Thursday, September 4.
As the Black Stars gear up for the cliffhanger, Kofi Adams has visited the team in camp, urging them to rise to the occasion.
However, the entire playing body has assured the minister and Ghanaians at large of their determination to triumph over Mali.
“We know what went wrong, and we are determined to correct it. The win is coming,” a senior player of the team said.
Currently, the West African football heavyweights sit top of Group I, accumulating 16 points after seven matches, followed by Madagascar (13 points), Mali (12), Comoros (12 points), Central African Republic (5), with Chad securing just a point.
The Black Stars will finalise their 2026 World Cup qualification with games against the Central African Republic and Comoros in October 2025.
