Black Stars to face Mali, Madagascar, others for 2026 World Cup qualification

Black Stars will compete in the African World Cup qualifying matches under the direction of head coach Chris Hughton.

In an effort to win one of Africa’s 10 tickets to the tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the Black Stars will be led by the former manager of Brighton and Hove Albion, who was appointed in March 2023.

Ghana was placed in Group I of the nine groups in the draw, which was held on Thursday in the Ivory Coast.

Mali, Chad, Central African Republic, Madagascar, and the Black Stars will compete against each other.

Since then, Hughton has overseen three matches as the four-time African champions’ head coach; he has won one and drawn the other two.

He served as the technical director for the Black Stars’ technical squad during the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

In order to get the chance to coach at the largest football tournament in the world, the 64-year-old would now be aiming to lead Ghana to qualify for the next competition.
