Ghana’s senior national football team, the Black Stars, will return to action today in a pivotal 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against the Central African Republic at the Stade d’Honneur de Meknès in Morocco.

Kick-off is scheduled for 16:00 GMT.

With qualification to the 2026 World Cup in North America within reach, the Black Stars enter the encounter knowing that a win will significantly strengthen their bid to book a fifth appearance on football’s grandest stage.

Currently leading Group I with 19 points, Ghana holds a slim advantage over their rivals but remains focused on maintaining momentum as the campaign nears its climax.

A victory today would leave the team needing only a draw in their final home fixture against Comoros on Sunday, October 12, to seal qualification.

The Black Stars’ campaign has been marked by strong performances and tactical discipline, showcasing a successful blend of seasoned veterans and emerging young talents.

Head coach and technical staff have emphasised the importance of consistency and composure at this decisive stage, where every point carries immense weight.

Ghanaian fans across the world are expected to rally behind the team, hopeful that the Stars will rise to the occasion and take a major step toward another World Cup journey.

A successful qualification would not only reaffirm Ghana’s stature as one of Africa’s football powerhouses but also inspire a new generation of players and supporters.

All eyes will be on Meknès today as the Black Stars chase victory — and the dream of flying Ghana’s flag proudly in North America next year.
