Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, will take on Niger in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifier on Monday, November 18. The match is set to be held at the Accra Sports Stadium, a venue recently approved following Ghana’s previous qualifier against Sudan in October.
This upcoming fixture marks Matchday 6 in the AFCON 2025 qualifying rounds, where Ghana will be vying for a much-needed win to secure their place at the prestigious tournament scheduled to be held in Morocco.
With their current position in Group F lagging behind, the Black Stars face a high-stakes encounter as they work to move up from third place and gain momentum in the competition.
Presently, Ghana sits in a challenging spot in the group standings, trailing group leader Angola by ten points and second-placed Sudan by five.
With only two points from previous matches, the Black Stars find themselves with limited room for error if they wish to improve their qualification chances.
Their performance in the match against Niger’s Menas will be critical in narrowing this points gap and potentially securing a position in Morocco.
For the Black Stars, this match is a decisive moment in their AFCON 2025 campaign.
