Preview: Ghana take on Comoros today in FIFA World Cup qualifier
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.

Ghana’s parliament has marked the 2nd edition of May Day 2026 under the theme “ Welcome Home”.
It was special day meant to celebrate the invaluable support of the workforce, recognizing the commitment, resilience, and contributions of workers to institutional growth and national development.
Delivering the message on behalf of the Speaker, the 1st Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, described the theme as very apt, appropriate, and timely, noting that Parliament is more than a workplace, it is a shared home.
He emphasized that we cannot speak about work without speaking about people, reminding everyone that the true measure of our work is the well-being of our people.
He urged that our traditional clothing become an integral part of our everyday clothing, and that our local languages must become integral to our daily lives, interwoven into education and practiced at home.
Referencing Standing Order 63, which captures the use of local language as optional in deliberations, he encouraged a renewed commitment to identity, saying it is significant that we “come home” and present who we are so future generations can inherit a story they can fully tell.
The Clerk, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, in his remarks commended officers for their dedication and devotion to duty, calling on them to go the extra mile and leave legacies.
Echoing the reminder that an unexamined life is not worth living, he described the event as an invitation to reconnect with our roots through cultural revival.
The Deputy Clerk, C&FMS, Dr. Gloria Sarku Kumawu, urged all not to forget their roots, the people behind the stories of ministries, industries, and the strides made both in-house and beyond.
What began last year has now become a meaningful tradition, showcasing Ghanaian heritage, fostering unity, and encouraging innovation under the principle of diversity for unity and diversity for progress, she added.
The gathering brought together leadership, public officials, and staff across all levels, along with the media, standing as a unifying platform that honored service, celebrated culture, and reaffirmed a shared commitment to national development.
