Black Stars forward, Kamaldeen Sulemana, says the playing body is determined to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Ghana revived their chances of qualifying for the Mundial with back-to-back wins against Chad and Madagascar in the March international window in the Matchday 5 and 6 games.
Having exited in the group phase of the last two Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon and in Ivory Coast respectively and failing to qualify for this year’s tournament, Sulemana says they are aiming to secure a fifth global showpiece appearance and do well.
“We also didn’t perform well in the last two AFCON tournaments, so we were hoping to make this year a great one,” he told Showmax.
“We as players take the blame and take full responsibility for not qualifying, and we have apologised to the country and our fans.
“We want to do well in the World Cup qualifiers and in the World Cup,” the Southampton attacker added.
Ghana recorded a resounding 5-0 win against Chad before an emphatic 3-0 win over Madagascar which has propelled them to the top of Group I with 15 points.
The Black Stars will take on Chad and Mali in the Matchday 7 and 8 games in September before wrapping up their qualifying games against Comoros and Central African Republic.
