The 18th team to qualify for the World Cup

On the morning of October 13, Ghana defeated Comoros 1-0 to officially qualify for the world football festival taking place next year.

Ghana became the 4th African representative to have a World Cup ticket.

In the final match of Group I, Ghana is not under pressure because they have already secured a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. The "Black Stars" are 3 points ahead of Madagascar and will only lose the top spot if they lose heavily to the unknown opponent Comoros, and at the same time the opponent wins heavily against Mali.

Of course, the above scenario did not happen. Ghana won the match on the Comoros field thanks to a goal by Mohammed Kudus. At the same time, with a weak spirit, Madagascar even lost to Mali 3-0.

Group I of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe ended with Ghana earning a direct ticket to the World Cup. Over the past 20 decades, the West African representative has only missed the tournament in 2018. The "Black Star"'s best achievement at the World Cup was reaching the quarterfinals in 2010.

With a core of stars playing in Europe such as Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus and especially Nelson Semenyo, the striker playing for Bournemouth and currently in top form in the Premier League, Ghana is considered one of the teams worth watching at the 2026 World Cup.

In addition to the three co-host countries of the US, Canada and Mexico, the 18 teams with tickets to the World Cup include Australia, Japan, Iran, Jordan, South Korea, Uzbekistan (Asia), Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Ghana (Africa), Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay (South America), New Zealand (Oceania).
