2026 WCQ: Black Stars need love to beat Chad and Madagascar – GFA President

-

The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has urged fans to rally behind the Black Stars as they prepare for their pivotal 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Madagascar.

Ghana’s senior national team will host Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on March 21 for their Matchday 5 fixture before traveling to Morocco to face Madagascar on March 24 in Matchday 6.

Speaking to the media upon his return from Cairo—where he secured a seat on the CAF Executive Committee—Okraku emphasized the importance of unity and unwavering support for the Black Stars.

“If we show the Black Stars love and support, they’ll win the games against Chad and Madagascar,” Okraku told fans, reinforcing the significance of collective backing at this crucial stage.

His call for solidarity comes as Ghana looks to regain momentum after recent struggles in major tournaments. The Black Stars are eager to secure a spot at the 2026 World Cup, with these upcoming fixtures playing a key role in their qualification efforts.

Currently, Ghana is level on nine points with Comoros at the top of Group I after four matches.

Following a disappointing performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, the four-time African champions are determined to reignite their World Cup dreams with strong showings in the upcoming matches.
