Black Stars will begin their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a pair of matches against Madagascar and Comoros, and they’ll do so without the scrutiny of the public eye.
The team’s schedule, released by the Ghana Football Association on Monday, shows that they’ll train behind closed doors leading up to the matches.
The Black Stars will open camp in Accra on Monday, November 13, 2023, ahead of the two games. They’ll begin training at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday evening before moving to Kumasi on Wednesday to wrap up their preparations for the first game.
Ghana will face off against Madagascar in the first game at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday, November 17, before travelling to Moroni for the second game against Comoros on Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
Ghana hope to make a strong start to their campaign as they aim to secure another qualification after participating in four of the last five World Cup tournaments. To achieve this, they’ll need to top their qualifying group, which also includes Mali, Central African Republic, and Chad. The tournament will be co-hosted by USA, Mexico, and Canada in 2026.
