FIFA has officially released the fixture list for the September 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with Ghana’s Black Stars set to face Chad and Mali in two pivotal Group matches.
According to the announcement, Ghana will host Chad on September 4, 2026, before traveling to face Mali on September 8, 2026. The two games are expected to be crucial in the Black Stars’ quest to secure qualification for the global tournament.
These fixtures come as part of the second phase of the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has welcomed the fixture confirmation, urging fans to rally behind the national team. Preparations are already underway, with the squad expected to enter camp later this month.
Head coach Otto Addo is anticipated to name a strong squad for the two encounters, with several Europe-based stars likely to be recalled.
Ghana will be aiming to return to the World Cup stage after their Round of 16 exit in 2022, with hopes high among fans and football stakeholders.
