Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito has urged the Black Stars to approach their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifying matches with a strong winning mentality.
Ghana will first travel to N’Djamena to face Chad on September 4 at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno, before hosting Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 8 for Matchday 7 and 8 fixtures of the qualifiers.
Speaking to Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Zito expressed confidence in the team’s chances of reaching the World Cup. He stressed the importance of focusing on qualification after the team’s early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.
“The aim is to qualify for the World Cup because, for now, the AFCON is gone, and the team must approach these games with a winning mentality. I believe they will get the needed results,” Zito said.
“Black Stars is for us, and we will all be happy when the team qualifies. I strongly believe the team will make it to the World Cup, but they must win these games,” he added.
The Black Stars officially opened camp in Accra on September 1 as preparations begin for the crucial double-header.
