The senior national team, the Black Stars are aiming to secure a fifth World Cup qualification.
Ghana will today, November 17 begin their 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Madagascar at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Kick-off for the much-anticipated game has been scheduled at 16:00GMT.
After the game today, the four-time African champions will face Comoros in their second Group I games four days later.
Having features at the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2022 in Germany, South Africa, Brazil and Qatar respectively, the Black Stars are aiming for a fifth Mundial appearance slated to be hosted in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
The African continent will present a record number [10] of nations to football’s newly expanded global showpiece.
Only five countries were present at the 2022 finals in Qatar, where Morocco made history by becoming the first African side to reach the semi-finals.
However, nine African sides are guaranteed a spot in the next edition of the global showpiece.
Some of the runners-up in the nine qualifying groups will get another chance to reach Canada, Mexico and the USA.
The four best-ranked second-placed sides will be drawn into play-offs, with a semi-final and final in November 2025 determining which African side will advance to an intercontinental play-off tournament.
Chris Hughton and his boys will hope to start the qualification games right and finish as group winners to earn automatic qualification.
