Nations FC defender Razak Simpson is confident Ghana will be able to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
The Black Stars featured in the last edition of the global showpiece in 2022, albeit exiting the tournament in the group stages.
Although impressing in their last World Cup, subsequent tournaments have not gone Ghana’s way, with a catastrophic Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers capping the decline in November.
However, Ghana remain acively in contention to secure a place at the 2026 World Cup, which is set to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The Black Stars currently lie second in their qualifying group, level on nine points with table-toppers Comoros.
Ahead of Ghana’s next game against Chad on Friday, Nations FC defender Razak Simpson says he has seen enough in the team to convince him the Black Stars can qualify to the World Cup.
‘For me, we have an amazing and quality players there. It is based on tactics and everything, whatever the coaches decide. We are 1000 % confident we are going to qualify. We are going to put in our best, and qualify,” he told 3Sports.
The Black Stars are winless in nine months, with the team’s last victory coming in June 2024 against Central African Republic.
A win against Chad will move Ghana a step to securing qualification for a fifth World Cup.
