By Lukman MUMIN

The Black Stars began training in Accra on Monday as they prepare for

their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali.

The team will hold two sessions at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday

and Tuesday before travelling to N’Djamena for Thursday’s clash with

Chad.

Ghana will then host Mali at the same venue on Monday, 8 September 2025.

Monday’s session is set for 5:00 pm local time.

Twelve players reported to camp on Sunday, including Antoine Semenyo,

Elisha Owusu, Jerry Afriyie, Joseph Anang, Christopher Bonsu Baah,

Benjamin Asare, Jonas Adjetey, Ibrahim Osman, Ibrahim Sulemana, Kamal

Deen Sulemana, Jordan Ayew and Gideon Mensah.

The remaining squad members are expected to join on Monday.

These fixtures are crucial for Ghana as they seek to strengthen their

position in Group I of the African qualifiers.

The West African giants currently sit top of the group and victories in

the two games will ensure their place in the tournament in North

America.
