Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association Randy Abbey has reiterated the Black Stars' desire to secure qualification to the 2026 World Cup tournament to be held in Mexico, USA and Canada.

Ghana revived their qualification chances following an important away win over Mali last Thursday in Bamako. The Black Stars left it late to snatch victory over the Eagles of Mali.

The four-time Africa Champions are chasing their fifth qualification to the biggest soccer mundial, and Randy Abbey has emphasized the FA's determination to grab qualification.

“Our Goal is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Our win over Mali clearly improves our chances and gives us a lot of confidence as we get ready to play the next game on Monday against CAR. Our goal as an FA remains the same, to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Currently, the Black Stars are positioned third in their group with 6 points, holding a two-point lead over the Central African Republic, who are currently in fifth place with 4 points.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars will play host to the Central Africa Republic at the Baba Yara Stadium on Monday night.
