Mali’s head coach, Tom Saintfiet, has expressed his team’s determination to secure a victory against Ghana in their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The match is scheduled to take place at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 8 at 19:00 GMT.
The two teams head into the contest with contrasting recent performances. Mali bounced back with a 3-0 win over Comoros, while Ghana settled for a 1-1 draw with Chad. Despite the draw, Ghana leads Group I with 16 points from seven games, while Mali ranks third with 12 points.
Mali is aiming to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the first time in their history. Saintfiet emphasized his team’s commitment to winning, acknowledging Ghana’s strength as a top team in Africa. “Ghana is a good team in Africa, they are number one in our group, four points ahead of us so it will be a tough match but we are here to write history and we want to win here,” he said.
Ghana, on the other hand, is seeking to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the fifth time. They have a strong home record in World Cup qualifiers, remaining unbeaten since 2001. However, Mali’s recent win over Comoros has boosted their confidence, and they will look to cause an upset against the Black Stars.
The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to make a statement in the qualification campaign. The outcome will have a significant impact on the standings in Group I, making it a highly anticipated match.
