Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has assured Ghanaians that the team is committed to turning their fortunes around, starting with their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Chad on Friday.
Ghana face Chad in one of two games in the March international window, with preparations already underway.
The Black Stars have been training since Monday, March 17, ahead of their matches against Chad and Madagascar.
Officials from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation were at the Accra Sports Stadium to watch the team train on Tuesday, March 18.
Despite failing to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the first time in 20 years and winning just two of their last 10 games, Ayew, who has been named the team’s captain, is optimistic the team is ready to fight for the needed results.
“We know we are in a difficult situation, but we will turn it around,” Ayew said after joining the team in training on Tuesday.
“When I see you guys (officials from the GFA, NSA and Ministry of Sports and Recreation) standing here, I know that definitely it’s going to be a positive result on Friday.”
Ghana currently sits joint top of the World Cup qualifying table with nine points, alongside Comoros.
The Black Stars will host Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, before facing Madagascar in Morocco three days later.
