Ghana’s Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Iddie Adams has pledged to support the Black Stars in their quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
This comes after the team’s disappointing performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, where they managed only three points from six matches
The Black Stars are currently second in Group I with nine points, and will face Chad and Madagascar in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in March.
“Whatever I will have to do as the Sports Minister to ensure that Ghana qualifies for the 2026 World Cup, I’ll do it,” he told Asempa FM.
“It is unfortunate that African countries will be meeting at AFCON, and Ghana will not be present, but the World Cup is different, and I know the government also has an interest in that.”
“If the team has wronged anyone, I will appeal that we all unite for the good cause of the team and ensure that we qualify for the tournament.”
In the two decisive fixtures, Ghana will host Chad on March 17, before jetting out to square-it-out with Madagascar on March 24.
