2026 World Cup Qualifiers: President Mahama to watch Ghana v Chad clash at Accra Sports Stadium on Friday
President John Dramani Mahama has promised to be in attendance when the Black Stars take on Chad in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier match against Chad on Friday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Mahama made these remarks when he visited the team on Wednesday at the Accra Sports Stadium to motivate the team.
“I’ll take time off and watch the game myself. Even though my heart is not very good at watching soccer, I will brave it. They say I should eat before I go and sit down. And my hope is that you would justify my sitting and watching you guys. The whole of Ghana is going to be behind you, and I’m sure that you can make it,” Mahama said.
“The whole of Ghana is going to be behind you, and I’m sure that you can, you can make it. And so I’ll encourage the GFA and the management committee.
“We’re gonna work closely together with you so that we can create the atmosphere for not only the Black Stars but all, all the other junior teams to perform.”
The Black Stars are currently third in Group I with nine points and will look to pick maximum points against Chad on 21 March in Accra and Madagascar on 24 March in Morocco.
After failing to make it to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Black Stars are aiming to strengthen their position as they seek to qualify for their fifth Mundial appearance in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
