Ghana’s Black Stars became the 5th African team to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup following their 1-0 win over Comoros in a Group I encounter played at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur forward Mohamed Kudus scored the all important goal that ultimately sealed qualification in the 47th minute of the game.
