A new twist has taken place in Group I of Africa’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification phase with Ghana’s lead atop the group standings cut from five points to three points due to Comoros’ latest win in the qualifiers.
Comoros beat Chad 1-0 to clinch its fourth win in six qualification games and move to second place in the standings with 12 points.
The island nation has bumped fellow island nation, Madagascar (10 points) to third place in the standings with Mali in fourth place with nine points.
Ghana held a five point lead after bagging a 5-0 win over Chad and registering a 3-0 win over Madagascar in the double header. The Black Stars have five wins in six games with its sole loss coming at the hands of Comoros.
Comoros’ next FIFA World Cup qualifier takes place on September 3 against Mali in a crucial tie that could effectively rule Mali out of contending for the group’s sole automatic qualification spot should the Eagles lose.
