Ghana booked their spot in the finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeating 1-0 Comoros in their final Group I game in the African qualifiers on Sunday, Afrosport reports.
The Black Stars were three points clear of Madagascar going into this game following their 5-0 thumping of Central African Republic last time out.
A win at the Accra Sports Stadium was all that was needed to finish in top spot which they did courtesy of a Mohammed Kudus strike off a Thomas Partey assist two minutes into the second half.
Ghana have now qualified for back-to-back World Cup tournaments and for the fifth time in their history having featured at three consecutive outings in 2006, 2010 and 2014.
