Black Stars captain, Jordan Ayew, has urged his teammates to give their best as Ghana prepares for crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
Ghana will host Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, before traveling to Morocco to face Madagascar three days later.
The Black Stars are currently tied with Comoros at the top of Group I, both on nine points, making these matches crucial for their World Cup qualification hopes.
Ahead of the Chad game, Ayew acknowledged the challenges the team has faced but expressed confidence in a positive outcome.
“I’m sure you all are ready for the battle, and we’ll give our all. The first task is on Friday we must ensure we get the three points,” Ayew said.
We know it’s a difficult situation, but we will turn things around. When I see the determination in you all, I’m confident Friday will bring a positive result. He added.
Ghana has struggled recently, failing to win in their last six matches, including defeats to Angola and Niger that led to their failure to qualify for the 2025 AFCON. However, Otto Addo’s side remains determined to restore confidence and push for a fifth World Cup appearance.
On behalf of his teammates, Ayew concluded,
“I want to thank you all. Hopefully, we’ll all be happy with the result after Friday’s game.
With 109 appearances and 29 goals for the Black Stars, Ayew remains a key figure in the squad, demonstrating consistent dedication over the years.
