Ghanaian forward Kamaldeen Sulemana says the Black Stars are determined to book a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Ghana significantly boosted their qualification chances with back-to-back wins over Chad and Madagascar during the March international break, securing victories in Matchdays 5 and 6.
After crashing out in the group stages of the last two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in Cameroon and Ivory Coast—and failing to qualify for the upcoming edition—Sulemana emphasized that the team is now fully focused on reaching their fifth World Cup appearance and restoring national pride.
“We also didn’t perform well in the last two AFCON tournaments, so we were hoping to make this year a great one,” he told Showmax.
“We as players take the blame and take full responsibility for not qualifying, and we have apologised to the country and our fans.
“We want to do well in the World Cup qualifiers and in the World Cup,” the Southampton winger added.
The Black Stars dominated Chad 5-0 and followed up with a convincing 3-0 win against Madagascar, propelling them to the top of Group I with 15 points.
Ghana will face Chad and Mali in Matchdays 7 and 8 in September, before wrapping up their qualifying campaign against Comoros and the Central African Republic.
