Ghana host Somalia in the third round of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON. Having lost their first two matches, both teams go into this fixture aiming to pick up their first points in Group C.

Ghana can no longer afford to slip up

The situation is already difficult for Ghana. The Black Stars lost their first two matches, against Côte d’Ivoire (0-2) and then Gambia (2-4). With no points and six goals conceded, they sit bottom of Group C.

Ghana will need to address their defensive issues in particular and become more clinical in front of goal. Despite having several quality attacking players, they have yet to score in these qualifiers.

Somalia also looking to get off the mark

Somalia have also made a difficult start to their campaign. The Ocean Stars lost to Gambia (1-2), then to Côte d’Ivoire (0-2). They too have no points after two rounds, having scored one goal and conceded four.

This match represents an important opportunity for both teams to get their campaigns back on track. According to FotMob, it will also be their first-ever meeting.

Date, time and TV channel

The match between Ghana and Somalia will be played on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 15:00 GMT. The game will take place at Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana. As for the broadcast, several sources list SuperSport MaXimo 1 in Ghana and Nigeria, as well as DStv Now in Ghana. Canal+ Sport and New World Sports are also worth checking.

In Group C, Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia occupy the top two places with six points each. The Elephants lead Gambia on goal difference, while Ghana and Somalia bring up the rear without a point. Another poor result would therefore make the situation even more difficult for both teams in the race to qualify.
