ACCRA: Ghana became the fifth African nation to qualify for the 2026 World Cup on Sunday. The 2010 quarterfinalist joins Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia at next year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Ghana needed a point against Comoros in its final game in Group I to be certain of qualifying for back-to-back World Cups and sealed its place with a 1-0 win at Accra Sports Stadium. In the end it didn't even need that after second-placed Madagascar lost 4-1 at Mali.
