Story By: Kyei Manu

Ghana’s coach Otto Addo, has made two changes to his starting lineup for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Madagascar in Morocco tonight.

Turkey based defender Jerome Opoku and midfielder Abu Francis have been handed starting roles in place of Ernest Nuamah and Inaki Williams in a 3-5-2 system that requires deputy captain Thomas Teye Partey to pair with Francis Abu in midfield.

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare maintains his spot in post and will have Alexander Djiku, Mohammed Salisu, and Jerome Opoku in the three-back system, which will push Kingsley Schindler and Gideon Mensah into wide positions as wingbacks.

Ghana’s attack is spearheaded by Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo and captain Jordan Ayew, with star-boy Mohammed Kudus, operating behind them.

The Black Stars go into the game looking to cement their position in Group I after moving top of the table last Friday following the 5-0 win over Chad.

The game against Madagascar is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 locsl time at the Grande Stade Al Hoceima in Morocco.
