Why the fans shout USA
The next FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada in the summer of 2026.
Currently, all the FIFA member nations, except the hosts, are battling it out against each other in qualifiers at their various confederations for a place at the football mundial.
Ghana occupies the second spot in Group I with nine points behind Comoros, who also have the same points but with a goal difference of four against the Black Stars' two.
Should the Black Stars finish top of their group at the end of the qualifiers, they would automatically play at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Black Stars' back-to-back victories against Mali in Bamako and the Central African Republic in Kumasi put them in good standing to qualify for the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
This explains why the fans shouted "USA," "USA" at the end of the match against CAR, as their hope of watching their national team in another World Cup came alive at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
