Ghana Aims to Seal World Cup Spot in Clash with Struggling Central African Republic
8 Oct
Summary
- Central African Republic winless in last 5 matches, averaging just 0.5 goals per game
- Ghana unbeaten in 6 qualifiers, top of Group I and close to securing World Cup berth
- Comoros vs. Madagascar match could impact Ghana's World Cup qualification
On October 8, 2025, the Central African Republic will host Ghana in a pivotal World Cup qualifier at Stade d'Honneur de Meknes. The two teams are facing sharply contrasting expectations heading into the match.
The Central African Republic have struggled for results in recent months, suffering four losses and a draw in their last five matches. They have averaged just 0.5 goals scored per game during this period, indicating a significant offensive woe.
In contrast, the Ghana Black Stars are on top of Group I, unbeaten in six qualifiers so far. A win against the Central African Republic would all but confirm Ghana's place at the 2026 World Cup. However, the West Africans would still require favorable results elsewhere to make their World Cup dream a certainty.
Comoros are set to take on Madagascar around the same time as the Ghana-Central African Republic clash. Any slip-up from the Barea could open the door for Ghana to seal their fifth World Cup appearance in a qualifying campaign that has seen only a few stumbles.
