Ghana Become Latest African Nation to Book 2026 World Cup Spot

Ghana booked their ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday night.

Mohammed Kudus delivered the moment of magic just two minutes after the restart, smashing home the winner that sent the packed stadium into wild celebration.

The victory sealed the Black Stars top spot in Group I with 25 points from 10 matches and confirmed their fifth appearance at football’s biggest showpiece.

Comoros, who stunned Ghana 1-0 in their earlier meeting, battled fiercely but couldn’t repeat the upset.

Kudus’s strike capped an impressive qualifying campaign for the West Africans, whose consistency and defensive solidity carried them through a challenging group.

Ghana now join Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and Tunisia as Africa’s representatives at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
