Technical Advisor of the Black Stars and Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) Director of Football, Winfried Schäfer, believes Ghana’s senior national team has a strong chance of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — if they win their next two matches.
Following consecutive victories over Chad and Madagascar in March, the Black Stars have significantly improved their standing in the qualifiers, with just four matches remaining.
The team is set to travel for an away clash against Chad before welcoming Mali for their Matchday 7 and 8 fixtures.
Speaking after the Black Stars Unity Cup in London, Schäfer expressed confidence in the team’s ability to reach the global tournament for a fifth time.
"We have good players around. We have a player in Auxerre, we have a player in Bilbao, and we have a player at West Ham," the German gaffer said.
"If we win two matches, we can go to the World Cup. I don't know about Nigeria," he added.
Ghana currently leads Group I with 15 points and will conclude their qualifying campaign in October with matches against Comoros and the Central African Republic.
