Ex-Ghana midfielder Rabiu Mohammed backs Black Stars to qualify for 2026 World Cup
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Ghana returns to action this month with two crucial qualifiers against Chad on March 21 at the Accra Sports Stadium and Madagascar on March 24 in Morocco.
After failing to book a spot at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the Black Stars are determined to turn things around. They are currently level on points with Comoros, making these two games crucial for their
qualification hopes.
Speaking on Akoma 87.9 FM, Rabiu stressed that the team has enough quality but needs self-belief.
“This Black Stars team has lost trust in itself. They possess the talent and skills required at this level, but they lack belief. I know they are capable of performing better.”
“I hope their confidence returns soon, allowing them to secure ictories. When the game starts, no matter how tough it gets, they should fight, run, and pass the ball. Their confidence will grow, enabling them to give their best for Ghana.”
“Looking at the players we have now, they are talented. You can’t compare Comoros’ squad to Ghana’s. What the Black Stars need is self-belief and determination to fight for Ghana.”
Ghana will be aiming to take a big step forward with wins in these two matches with the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada on the horizon.
