Ghana’s Black Challenge will begin their 2026 WAFF Amputee Football World Cup campaign against former champions Angola on Saturday, November 14, as they seek to make a strong statement on the global stage.

The Group D encounter is scheduled to take place at San Martín in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico, with kick-off set for 23:30 GMT.

Coach Stephen Richard Obeng’s side face a formidable opponent in Angola, the 2018 world champions who finished runners-up at the 2022 edition. Ghana will, however, be determined to make a positive start and build momentum for the challenges ahead.

The Black Challenge head into the tournament with an impressive record on the African continent. Ghana won the African Amputee Football Championship in 2021, claimed gold at the inaugural African Para Games in Accra in 2023, and successfully defended their continental crown in Cairo in 2024.

Their 2024 triumph came after a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Morocco in the final, a result that also secured Ghana’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

The tournament kicked off on Friday, November 13, with hosts Mexico opening their campaign with a 2–1 victory over Italy.

Following their clash with Angola, Ghana will face Colombia and Iraq in their remaining Group D fixtures as they seek to advance to the knockout stage.

The 2026 WAFF Amputee Football World Cup is being staged from November 13 to 22 in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico, bringing together 24 national teams from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
