Ghana Qualifies for 2026 World Cup - The Morning Sun
Ghana secured its spot by topping Group I with a 1-0 win over Comoros, joining four other African nations already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
- On Sunday, Ghana confirmed their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, joining Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia as African qualifiers for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
- Otto Addo's side entered Group I three points clear with a far superior goal difference, and Ghana needed one point against Comoros to guarantee back-to-back World Cups, though Madagascar's 4-1 loss to Mali made this unnecessary.
- Following a goalless first half, Tottenham forward Mohammed Kudus finished a Thomas Partey pass in the 47th minute to secure qualification.
- Ghana's confirmation means they are the first non-North African team qualified while runners-up like Madagascar still vie for playoff spots in the four best runners-up mini-tournament.
- Beyond Ghana, the route for remaining spots involves Egypt, already qualified after beating Guinea-Bissau 1-0, and the African mini-tournament winner advancing to the FIFA playoff.
