The Black Stars hope to bounce back from their disappointing campaign in the qualifiers, winning 1-0 against Madagascar and losing their second group game by the same margin against Comoros in November last year.
Ghana's 2026 World Cup qualification group comprise Mali, Madagascar, Comoros, Chad and the Central Africa Republic.
The stars would be aiming for a win against Mali in Bamako on Thursday and return to the Bata Yara Sports Stadium on Monday, June 10, 2024, to face the CAR in matchday 4 for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Speaking ahead of the two matches, Alidu Seidu said all the players invited to camp are fully prepared for the games.
Alidu Seidu said that the Black Stars players know what qualifying for the 2026 football mundial, to be held in the US, Mexico and Canada, would mean for Ghanaians, so they are prepared to put their bodies on the line for them.
In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the TikTok page of @bigsheriffbigsher, the Black Stars right-back, who plies his trade for Stade Rennais F.C in France, said that the players will redeem their image following the disappointing AFCON campaign early this year by qualifying for the next FIFA World Cup.
"The fans would be happy and we would also be satisfied. Qualifying and playing in the World Cup is not a small achievement. Once we are here, we will do our best to secure a place in the World Cup because we know what that mean to Ghanaians. We would make them happy," he said.
