Jordan Ayew predicts tough World Cup qualifiers in September
Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew says he expects tough matches against Chad and Mali in the upcoming round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers this September.
Following back-to-back wins against Chad and Madagascar in March, Ghana will travel to play Chad before hosting Mali in Matchdays 7 and 8 of the qualifiers.
Victories in these crucial games will secure Ghana’s spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to be hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
“I think we have a very good chance of making it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” the Leicester City striker told the Ghana Football Association media.
“The team fought hard for the points against Chad and Madagascar in March, and that has put us in a very good place at the top of the table. But it is not yet over. “We have four more matches to play, and we are focused on winning them. We have Chad and Mali in September; it won’t be easy, same as Central African Republic and Comoros. But with this kind of mentality and team spirit, we will succeed,” he added.
