The Black Stars of Ghana are gearing up for a crucial showdown against Mali in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Head coach Otto Addo is set to field a strong squad for the game, which is scheduled to take place at the Stade 26 Mars in Bamako this evening.
After several intensive training sessions, the players are in high spirits and are ready to take on the Malian team. Leading the Black Stars on the field will be Arsenal star Thomas Partey, who is expected to play a key role in the team's bid for victory.
Ghana is currently in a tricky situation in Group I of the World Cup qualifiers, having managed to secure only one win in their first two matches. The team kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Madagascar in Kumasi but then suffered a setback, losing 1-0 to Comoros in Moroni.
As things stand, the Black Stars are in 4th place in Group I, and they are desperate to get back to winning ways. The qualifier against Mali is, therefore, a must-win game for Ghana, and the team will be leaving no stone unturned in their quest for victory.
Following the game against Mali, Ghana will take on the Central African Republic at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Monday, June 10, 2024. The team will be hoping to secure victories in both games to boost their chances of qualifying for the World Cup, which will be hosted in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
