GHANA vs CHAD WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: LATEST UPDATES


GHANA vs CHAD WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: LATEST UPDATES


DATE: September 3, 2025 | Time: 10:30 AM GMT

As the countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Ghana and Chad continues, both nations are making headlines for different reasons.

From the Ghanaian camp, the Black Stars have been dealt a blow with the absence of two key players. The Ghana Football Association confirmed that Alexander Djiku and Joseph Paintsil will not feature in the match in N’Djamena. Djiku is finalizing a club contract in Moscow, while Paintsil missed his connecting flight from New York due to travel delays. Both players are expected to rejoin the team after this clash, ahead of Ghana’s next fixture against Mali. Despite this setback, coach Otto Addo has stressed that the squad remains focused on securing all three points.

On the financial side, Ghana’s Ministry of Youth and Sports has approved a budget of $856,890 for the Chad trip, trimming down the initial $1 million request from the Ghana Football Association. The ministry maintains that the funds will be sufficient to cover travel, logistics, and player welfare.

Chad, on the other hand, is approaching the match with renewed determination. Playing at home in front of their supporters, Les Sao see this game as an opportunity to prove their progress on the continental stage. While Chad enters the qualifier as underdogs against the four-time African champions, the team’s recent performances suggest they cannot be underestimated. Home advantage, coupled with Ghana’s weakened squad, could give Chad the confidence to push for an upset.

With kickoff set for later this week, anticipation is building on both sides. For Ghana, it is about consolidating their path to the World Cup despite setbacks. For Chad, it is about making history and showing that they can stand toe-to-toe with one of Africa’s football giants.

This encounter promises intensity, passion, and high stakes for both nations.

POLITICAL STORM IN MADAGASCAR: PRESIDENT RAJOELINA DISSOLVES PARLIAMENT AMID RISING MILITARY TENSIONS

ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR – OCTOBER 14, 2025. Madagascar has been plunged into deep political and military turmoil as President Andry Rajoelina dissolved the lower house of parliament following a series of dramatic events that have shaken the island nation. The move comes amid mounting protests, divisions within the armed forces, and reports that the President fled the country fearing for his life. The latest developments began when tensions escalated between Rajoelina’s government and sections of the military aligned with opposition figures. According to local sources, the elite military unit known as CAPSAT (Personnel and Administrative Services Corps of the Army) defected from government control and sided with anti-government demonstrators in the capital, Antananarivo. These soldiers reportedly occupied strategic locations, declaring that they were intervening to “restore order and democracy.” Facing growing unrest and loss of control over key state institutio...

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST In a move that has sparked widespread debate across the United States, President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. The decision, according to the White House, comes in response to a series of violent protests, vandalism, and reported lawlessness that have gripped parts of the city in recent weeks. Administration officials say the deployment is aimed at restoring peace and protecting federal buildings, businesses, and citizens, but critics argue it marks another instance of federal overreach and political showmanship. The announcement was made late Saturday following a high-level security briefing at the White House. In his statement, Trump emphasized that the federal government “would not sit idly by while chaos and violence undermine public safety.” The president pointed to reports of shootings, looting, and clashes between demonstrators and police as justification ...
