Chad’s head coach, Raoul Savoy, is confident that Ghana’s Black Stars will make it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite their recent setback. His remarks came after Ghana dropped points in their latest qualifier.
The Black Stars were held to a 1-1 draw in N'Djamena, where Jordan Ayew scored early in the first half. However, Celestine Ecau equalized for Chad, forcing both teams to share the points.
This result left Ghana with 16 points from seven games in Group I of the qualifiers. With only three matches left to play, the team still sits at the top of the table.
Savoy believes that Ghana is still in control of their qualification destiny. He stressed that the team’s position leaves little room for error in the remaining matches.
According to him, it would be a huge disappointment if Ghana does not qualify from their current position. He explained that the Black Stars are in a far stronger situation compared to their group rivals.
Savoy went further to say that most of the other teams in the group are not yet ready for the World Cup. He added that Ghana’s failure to qualify would be considered a professional failure.
The coach praised the Black Stars’ quality and experience, highlighting that they have all it takes to reach the finals. He pointed out that their consistency and record make them favorites to advance.
Despite the draw against Chad, Ghana still has momentum going into the next stage of qualifiers. The team knows that every game from now will be critical for their World Cup hopes.
Their next test will be against Mali on Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium. The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 GMT, with high expectations from fans.
This game is considered a key battle in the group, as both teams are still pushing for qualification. Ghana will be aiming for nothing less than a win to secure their lead.
For Otto Addo and his players, this is the time to stay focused and avoid mistakes. Every point gained or dropped will count heavily in the race to Qatar 2026.
With three matches left, the Black Stars must make the most of their advantage. Supporters are hopeful that the team will deliver and confirm their place at the global tournament.
