Ghana will face Comoros in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier today.
Both teams are level on three points after winning their respective games in the opening round of matches in Group I.
While Inaki Williams left it late to give Ghana a 1-0 win over Madagascar, Comoros took full advantage of playing at home to beat Central African Republic 4-2 in Moroni.
The Islanders last beat Ghana 3-2 in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations to make the second round of that tournament in Cameroon. That famous win is still fresh in our minds as Ghana exited the tournament after finishing bottom in the Group.
Ghana coach Chris Hughton who has yet to lose a competitive game since he took over from Otto Addo boasts of three home wins (against Angola, Central African Republic and Madagascar). However, his performance on the road does not match his home record after drawing against Angola (1-1) and Madagascar (0-0) in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Chris Hughton is therefore going into the game in search of his first win on the road as Black Stars coach. The former Tottenham full back will be forced to make at least one change to his back line following the injury to Daniel Amartey. Aside Daniel, Alidu Seidu, Gideon Mensah, Abdul Fatawu Hamid, Nurudeen Abdulai and Nicholas Opoku are all available for selection.
Also in the team are Baba Idrissu, Samed Salis, Majeed Ashimeru, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew and Mohammed Kudus.
Forward Inaki Williams who scored his first international goal against Madagascar on Friday, is raring to go again following his switch from Spain to Ghana.
Kasim M’Dahoma (20), Benjaloud Youssouf (50), Rafiki Said (58) and Myziane Moilida (68) got on the score sheet in the 4-2 win against Central African Republic.
Coach Stefano Cusin’s side are on the rise after going three games without defeat.
Comoros drew 1-1 with Zambia and defeated Cape Verde 2-1 in an away game before beating Central African Republic 4-2 in the recent World Cup qualifier.
Ghana’s last visit to Moroni was a FIFA World Cup qualifier that ended goalless in 2015.
The FIFA World Cup qualifier between Comoros and Ghana is scheduled for the Omnisports Sports stadium in Moroni on Tuesday, November 21,2023.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
