Former Ghana President John Dramani Mahama has congratulated the Black Stars on their impressive 5-0 win over Chad in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The victory, which came with goals from Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu, and Ernest Nuamah, propelled Ghana to the top of Group I, two points clear of Madagascar.

Mahama, who had paid a visit to the team’s training camp ahead of the fixture, praised the team for their commanding performance. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his delight, saying the win restored his appetite. “I had a good appetite for dinner after the Black Stars’ 5-0 victory. Congrats guys!” he posted.

However, Mahama also cautioned against overconfidence, emphasizing that the victory should be the start of rebuilding the connection between the team and Ghanaians. “Let this victory not make us complacent. This should be the beginning of bringing back the LOVE. Next focus: Madagascar. Go Black Stars!” he added.

The Black Stars’ dominant display has sent a strong message to the rest of the group, and Mahama’s endorsement has further boosted the team’s morale. With their next fixture against Madagascar looming, the Black Stars will be looking to build on this momentum and edge closer to securing a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
