Technical Advisor of the Black Stars and Ghana Football Association (GFA) Director of Football, Winfried Schäfer, says Ghana’s senior national team is on course to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—if they win their next two qualifying matches.
Following back-to-back victories over Chad and Madagascar in March, the Black Stars have revived their qualification campaign with four games left to play.
Ghana is scheduled to face Chad away and later host Mali in Matchdays 7 and 8 of the qualifiers.
Speaking after the Black Stars Unity Cup games held in London, Schäfer expressed optimism about the team’s chances, citing the talent and depth within the squad.
“We have good players around. We have a player in Auxerre, we have a player in Bilbao, and we have a player at West Ham,” the German tactician noted.
“If we win two matches, we can go to the World Cup. I don’t know about Nigeria,” he added.
Ghana currently leads Group I with 15 points and will wrap up their campaign in October with decisive fixtures against Comoros and the Central African Republic.
