Players of the Black Stars sitting in the dugout
The Black Stars ended the fifth and sixth rounds of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on a high note, securing impressive wins against Chad and Madagascar on March 21 and March 24, 2025, respectively.
The matches showcased moments of brilliance and key performances that have solidified Ghana’s position at the top of the standings.
Beyond their performance, a touching display of respect during the Black Stars’ game against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium has resurfaced, featuring young talent Jerry Afriyie’s selfless gesture toward Kamaldeen Sulemana.
In a video circulating on Facebook, Sulemana, after warming up, approaches the bench but finds no available seat. Sensing the situation, Afriyie graciously offers his seat to the Southampton forward and sits on the floor instead.
Afriyie’s actions have drawn widespread praise from fans, who have commended him for his humility and respect toward his senior teammate.
Both Afriyie and Sulemana had the opportunity to feature in the Black Stars’ 5-0 victory over Chad, though they remained unused substitutes against Madagascar.
