The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, says the Black Stars must ensure they pick up all three points against Chad in their meeting on Friday, March 21.

Ghana face Chad on matchday five of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium, looking to enjoy a winning start to the calendar year.

The Black Stars are without a win in their last six games across all competitions and disappointed Ghanaians when they failed to make the cut for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to be staged in Morocco.

"We need nothing but a win (against Chad). It is disappointing that the Black Stars couldn't qualify for the 2025 AFCON. The Black Stars have failed to win in their last six matches," the Member of Parliament for Tamale South said.

"That is not the Black Stars of Ghana. There is something fundamentally wrong."

He also urged the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, to limit the interference from the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

"Minister, [with regards to] interference with Association Football, there will be limitations, but you have to be firm. You have to be very firm in your dealings with it," he added.

The Black Stars host Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, before facing Madagascar three days later in Morocco.

Ghana are joint top of the 2026 World Cup qualifying table with nine points alongside Comoros.
