Chad coach Raoul Savoy backs Ghana for 2026 World Cup Qualification

Chad head coach Raoul Savoy has expressed strong confidence in Ghana’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Black Stars currently top Group I with 16 points from seven matches, with three games remaining in the qualifying campaign.

Their recent Matchday 7 encounter in N’Djamena ended in a 1-1 draw, as Celestine Ecau’s equaliser cancelled out an early goal from Jordan Ayew.

Despite the draw, Savoy believes it would be a major setback if the four-time African champions fail to progress.

“It will be a big failure if Ghana fails to qualify because they are now in a good position, and it will be a mess if they fail to qualify from this group because I think the other teams are not ready for this World Cup,” he told GhanaSportsPage.com.

“I tip Ghana to qualify over other teams; if not, it will be a professional failure,” Savoy added.

Ghana will aim to consolidate their position when they host Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday for Matchday 8, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT.
