Pointless Ghana host Somalia on Nov 12 and travel back four days later as CAF unveils Matchdays 3 and 4 of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers.
The Black Stars are running out of room for error. Ghana have lost both of their opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, and a double-header against Somalia in November now looks like a must-win moment for their Group C hopes.
CAF has confirmed the Matchday 3 and 4 fixtures, with Ghana hosting Somalia on November 12 before travelling for the return leg on November 16. Six points would pull Ghana back into the race. Anything less would put real pressure on a campaign that has stumbled out of the gate.
The November window runs from November 12 to 17 and will see all 48 nations in action, with several groups nearing a defining stage. The headline fixture in Ghana's own group is Côte d'Ivoire against Gambia, two sides that each have six points from their first two games. They meet in Bouaké on November 12, then go again in Bakau five days later.
Group K also has a heavyweight double-header. Mali and Rwanda, both perfect so far with six points, will face off in Bamako and Kigali, a pair of games that could go a long way toward deciding who controls the group.
With unbeaten records on the line at the top and a proud football nation fighting to get off the mark, this international break could shape the road to 2027.
