Ghana’s Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has emphasized the importance of the Black Stars winning their upcoming match against Chad on Friday, March 21.
The crucial encounter, scheduled to take place at the Accra Sports Stadium, is part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
The Black Stars are currently on a six-game winless streak across all competitions and are under pressure to deliver a positive result.
Their recent failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco has left Ghanaian fans disappointed, making this match a vital opportunity for the team to redeem themselves.
“We need nothing but a win (against Chad). It is disappointing that the Black Stars couldn’t qualify for the 2025 AFCON. The Black Stars have failed to win in their last six matches,” the Member of Parliament for Tamale South said.
“That is not the Black Stars of Ghana. There is something fundamentally wrong.”
“Minister, [with regards to] interference with Association Football, there will be limitations, but you have to be firm. You have to be very firm in your dealings with it,” he added.
Ghana drop to third in Group I of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with nine points after Madagascar’s 4-1 victory over Central Africa Republic.
