2026 WCQ: Asamoah Gyan Urges Black Stars to Show Full Commitment vs. Madagascar

The four-time African champions climbed to the top of Group I with 12 points after their emphatic win at the Accra Sports Stadium last Friday. With just a two-point lead over Madagascar (10 points), Ghana must maintain their momentum to solidify their chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in USA, Canada, and Mexico.

Gyan’s Motivational Call: "Give 100% Effort"

As Ghana’s all-time leading goal scorer and the top-scoring African player in World Cup history (6 goals), Asamoah Gyan has remained actively involved in supporting the team. Traveling with the squad to Morocco, where the game will take place, the 39-year-old addressed the players at their hotel, urging them to give everything on the pitch.

“Let’s give 100%. I want Ghanaians to see you heckling and fighting,” Gyan told the squad. “We have great players, the talent is there, but that extra bit of commitment will take us to the next level.”

He also reminded the players that while club football is important, competing in the World Cup should be their ultimate goal.

“Sometimes, your club might tell you to be careful, but the World Cup is the ultimate,” he emphasized.

Ghana’s Qualification Path: A Must-Win Clash Against Madagascar

With Madagascar sitting second in Group I, this game is a must-win for the Black Stars to maintain their lead. A victory would extend their advantage at the top and bring them one step closer to World Cup qualification.

Current Group I Standings:

1️⃣ Ghana – 12 points
2️⃣ Madagascar – 10 points
3️⃣ Comoros – 9 points
4️⃣ Mali – 8 points
5️⃣ Central African Republic – 4 points
6️⃣ Chad – 0 points

A win over Madagascar would strengthen Ghana’s dominance in the group and ease the pressure in the remaining fixtures. Gyan’s rallying call serves as a powerful motivator for the team as they prepare for battle.

Will the Black Stars rise to the occasion and take another massive step toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Fans across Ghana eagerly await the crucial showdown.
