Ghana are just one point away from securing their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but head coach Otto Addo insists his side will be going for victory when they face Comoros tonight at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Black Stars, backed by a packed home crowd, are determined to finish the qualifiers in style and send a strong message to the rest of Africa.
“This is where everybody must show professionalism,” Addo said in his pre-match press conference. “In football, anything can happen. We’re not done until we’re done. We want to end this qualification with a win.”
While qualification is the immediate goal, this fixture also carries emotional weight. Comoros famously shocked Ghana at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, a defeat that still stings for many supporters. Tonight offers a chance not just to qualify, but to restore pride.
However, Comoros arrive with confidence of their own. Head coach Stefano Cusin has praised the Black Stars, describing them as “a super team with Premier League players,” but says his side will fight to give their nation something to cheer about.
What’s at Stake
Ghana need one point to reach their fifth World Cup
A win secures top spot in Group I
Final home match of the qualifiers
Chance to erase past disappointment against Comoros.
Ghana are expected to dominate possession, press high and aim for early goals to settle nerves. Comoros are likely to defend deep and rely on counterattacks. With so much at stake, the first goal could be decisive.
Thousands of fans are expected to fill the Accra Sports Stadium, creating a vibrant atmosphere under the lights. The players are aware of the responsibility, and the opportunity.
This is not just another qualifier. It is a chance to write history, seal a ticket to the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and give the nation a night to remember.
