The Black Stars of Ghana have been drawn in Group I for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana will face Mali, Madagascar, Central Africa Republic, Comoros and Chad in the qualifying series for the global showpiece.
Ghana was in Pot 2 ahead of the draw which took place in Ivory Coast during the CAF 45th Ordinary General Assembly due to being outside the top 10 places in the FIFA Rankings.

Chris Hughton's boys are chasing a fifth World Cup appearance after participating in the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2022 editions.
The group winners will automatically secure their places at the tournament which will jointly be hosted by the USA, Mexico and Canada.
The four best runners-up will compete in a mini-tournament and the winner will make an intercontinental play-off.
Here is the full draw:
Group A: Egypt, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Djibouti
