Vice Chairman of Black Stars, Stephen Appiah, says he is convinced of the qualification chances of the team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

The four-time African champions enhanced their chances of qualifying for the tournament, which is scheduled to be hosted in the United States of America, Mexico and Canada, with back-to-back wins against Chad and Madagascar.

Ghana secured an emphatic 5-0 win against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium before a convincing 3-0 win against Madagascar in Morocco.

The victories have propelled the Black Stars to the top of Group I with 15 points, with four matches remaining to end the qualifiers.

Speaking on the TotalEnergies Auto Show on Citi FM, Appiah, who is a former skipper for the Black Stars and led the team to a back-to-back World Cup qualifications in 2006 and 2010, expressed confidence in the qualification chances following their recent performances.

“For what I saw against Chad and Madagascar and the friendlies, the Unity Cup that we played in the UK against Nigeria and Trinidad, it has given me a lot of hope because the new players who came showed themselves well,” he said.

“So yeah, I am very convinced that we still have four games to play, but when you do the calculations, nothing tells me that we are not going to qualify,” Appiah added.

The Black Stars will regroup in September for the Matchday 7 and 8 games against Chad and Mali before wrapping their qualifiers against Comoros and Central African Republic in October.
