Black Stars head coach Otto Addo is hoping the team can regain 'confidence' with their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup matches.
Ghana face Chad and Madagascar in the first international window since the turn of the year, with the games key to the Black Stars' World Cup chances.
Addo's men faced lots of difficulties in the past year, with just two wins from 10 games, while also failing to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The former Borussia Dortmund man sees the two games as an important step in changing the mood around the team.
"For me, it’s not about qualifiers, World Cup, or AFCON qualifiers. Each and every game is important. Surely, I think it’s difficult sometimes to compare circumstances, especially if you have friendly matches or matches where you have a lot of injuries," he told TV3.
"I know the statistics count, but for me, it doesn’t count too much. Each and every game is important. We always try to do our best. I’m looking forward to this match.
"I’m really, really looking forward to this match to also bring back a little bit of positivity and also confidence to the players. I hope Chad is coming in at the right time and prepare the boys."
The Black Stars host Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, before facing Madagascar three days later in Morocco.
Ghana are joint top of the World Cup qualifying table with nine points alongside Comoros.
