It was a 1–0 win at home against Comoros in the conclusion of the World Championship qualifying after Tottenham star Mohammed Kudus scored the only goal of the match in the capital Accra.
Ghana thus remained on 25 points in group I – a whole six points ahead of second-placed Madagascar, which lost 1–4 away to third-placed Mali (18 points).
This will be Ghana's fifth World Championship on the men's side. The greatest success so far is the quarter-final spot in 2010 in South Africa.
Previously, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Algeria have secured World Championship tickets in the African qualifying.
