Ghanaian defender Abdul Baba Rahman has expressed confidence in the Black Stars' ability to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The PAOK left-back, who recently took a break from international duties to focus on his fitness, believes that despite recent setbacks, the team has the talent and potential to succeed in the qualifiers.
"I honestly think the guys have been a bit unlucky recently," Rahman told the BBC. "We have some really exciting young players, both on and off the ball, and good prospects as well. I still have confidence in them."
The Black Stars are currently tied on points with Comoros at the top of Group I in the World Cup qualifiers after four matches, keeping their hopes alive for another appearance on the global stage.
Having represented Ghana in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Rahman remains hopeful for another World Cup appearance, which will be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
"Of course, I think about playing in another World Cup, and I believe Ghana is on the right path to qualify," Rahman said.
Before continuing their World Cup qualifying campaign, the Black Stars will focus on their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, starting with an away match against Angola in Luanda, followed by a home clash with Niger.
