Ghana vs Chad: A must-win scenario for Black Stars
Ghana’s qualification hopes hang in the balance following dominant victories by Group I rivals Mali and Madagascar.
According to the BBC, Mali cruised past Comoros, while Madagascar produced a stunning comeback to defeat the Central African Republic.
These results leave Otto Addo’s charges with no option but to secure all three points at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The team's last outing on home soil—a disappointing draw against Niger in the botched 2025 AFCON qualifier—left fans disheartened.
However, despite recent struggles, optimism remains high among the Ghanaian faithful, who believe the Black Stars can rise to the occasion.
Akrobeto’s lighthearted but thoughtful advice
As excitement builds, Akrobeto, host of the Real News, stepped in with a humorous yet thoughtful message.
Before offering his main advice, he called on fans to rally behind the team, emphasising the unpredictable nature of modern football.
He expressed confidence in a positive result but cautioned that, regardless of expectations, it was essential for fans to have their meals before the match.
"Have faith, feel good. But the only advice I will give you is to eat before the match," he said in Twi, a widely spoken Akan dialect.
"Eat, because I've witnessed an incident before. If you don't eat, your food will get spoilt. But when you eat before the match and Ghana wins, it will be all joy."
"Even if we lose, it will be all joy because you will be satisfied. Because, my people [Black Stars] can disappoint you," he concluded, capping off his remarks with a cheerful song to boost morale.
Black Stars’ recent struggles and the urgency of victory
Akrobeto’s lighthearted warning carries an underlying truth.
According to Flashscore, Ghana has failed to win any of its last five matches, recording three draws and two defeats.
This dismal run has intensified pressure on the squad to turn things around, with captain Jordan Ayew leading the charge in matchday five of the qualifiers.
With World Cup dreams on the line, the Black Stars cannot afford another setback.
As fans heed Akrobeto’s humorous yet relatable advice, the focus now shifts to the players, who must ensure that, this time, supporters celebrate not just because they ate—but because Ghana delivered a much-needed victory.
