Madagascar, who trail in second with 19 points, per the FIFA standings, would need nothing short of a football miracle to overtake Ghana at this stage. For Ghana, this achievement would mark their fifth appearance on football’s grandest stage, having previously featured in the 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022 editions.
The team’s consistency in the qualifying campaign highlights their determination to bounce back from disappointment after missing out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, as noted by the Ghana FA.
Meanwhile, Madagascar continue their quest for a maiden World Cup appearance, but Ghana’s experience and form make the outcome seem inevitable, with the West African side poised to punch their ticket for the historic 48-team World Cup next year.
