David Accam says the senior national team, the Black Stars, must do everything possible to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
The four-time African champions have been paired alongside Mali, Madagascar, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Chad in Group I.<\/p>\n
The winners of their group automatically qualify for the Mundial which will be hosted by the United States of America, Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The second-best-placed teams will engage in a playoff.<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with Joy Sports, Accam, who is a former Black Stars midfielder\u00a0said with the right approach and adequate preparations, Chris Hughton\u2019s charges will make it, although it will be difficult.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all know the benefits of the World Cup. The next World Cup is in the USA, and that\u2019s huge, and I know what they are preparing.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, I know it will be better and bigger than what we saw in Qatar.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery country wants to be in the USA, so if we want to be considered among the best countries in football, then we must do everything to be in the USA.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is always possible to qualify if we do the right things. Of course, there is a lot of work to do, but we have to be at the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n He opined that Ghana failed at the last edition of the tournament in Qatar due to lack of preparations.<\/p>\n \u201cWe just didn\u2019t prepare enough. I can say we were not ready. I think the lesson I learned was that we always have to be prepared,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n The qualifying series will begin on November 13, 2023.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ACC-AM.jpg\")
