Central African Republic host Ghana in a pivotal World Cup qualifier at Stade d’Honneur in Meknes on Wednesday October 8, 2025, with the two teams facing starkly contrasting expectations.
The Central African Republic have struggled for results, suffering four defeats and a draw in their last five matches, averaging just 0.5 goals scored per game.
The Black Stars are at the top of Group I, unbeaten in six qualifiers and ready to secure early entry into the 2026 World Cup with a victory.
Although maximum points would all but confirm Ghana’s place at the Mundial, the West Africans would still need favorable results elsewhere to make that dream certain.
Comoros face Madagascar around the same time the black stars clash with the Central African Republic, and any offload from Barea could open the door for Ghana to seal a fifth World Cup appearance in a qualifying campaign that has seen only a few stumbles.
