The Black Stars share top spot in Group I of Africa's 2026 World Cup qualifiers with Comoros, and go into their next set of fixtures determined to put behind them a horror three-month run at the end of last year.

The qualifiers for the upcoming Cup of Nations finals in Morocco were crammed into a three-month spell from September to November and saw Ghana crash badly despite an exciting-looking team. They had a disastrous campaign, finishing rock bottom of their group - a pool featuring Angola, Sudan and Niger - and embarrassingly failed to win a single game.
