Ghana’s Black Stars have been drawn in Group C with Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, and Somalia for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The draw was held on Tuesday, 19th May, 2026, at the headquarters of the Egyptian Football Association in Cairo as African nations learned their routes to the continental tournament.
Ghana entered the draw from Pot 2 and were aware of the possibility of facing some of Africa’s top-ranked sides, including Morocco, Senegal and Nigeria. The Black Stars have now been handed a challenging group featuring former African champions Cote d’Ivoire, while Gambia and Somalia complete the four-team group.
The qualification campaign will follow CAF’s traditional format, with 48 teams divided into 12 groups of four. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the finals.
