Black Stars Face Comoros Today: Win or Draw Secures World Cup Qualification
October 12, 2025
Ghana's senior national football team, the Black Stars, will take on Comoros today in a decisive 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier that could seal their place in the tournament. Ghana sits on top of Group I with 22 points and maintains a three-point advantage over Madagascar, needing only a draw against already-eliminated Comoros to secure qualification.
GROUP I STANDINGS
The group contains Mali, Ghana, Madagascar, Central African Republic, Comoros and Chad, with the group winner qualifying directly for the World Cup. Based on recent results, the current standings heading into today's match show Ghana in pole position to clinch the sole automatic qualification spot from the group.
What's at Stake
The equation is simple for the Black Stars: any result other than a loss will guarantee Ghana's place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This would mark Ghana's fifth appearance at the World Cup finals, having previously qualified in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022.
Comoros, sitting fourth in Group I with 15 points from five wins and four losses, are already out of contention for World Cup qualification, which should ease the pressure on the Black Stars.
Team News
Ghana coach Otto Addo will have to manage without several key players, including Inaki Williams, Lamptey, Sulemana, and Abdul Samed, but the squad depth should be sufficient to handle the challenge posed by Comoros.
The match represents a crucial moment for Ghanaian football, offering the opportunity to erase recent disappointments and return to the world stage with confidence. Fans across the nation are eagerly anticipating the final whistle that could confirm the Black Stars' place among football's elite at the 2026 World Cup.
