At 16:00 the World Cup qualifying match featuring African teams Chad and the Comoros Islands kicks off.
The Chad national football team is considered one of the weakest, both in African and global football. Chad has never participated in the World Cup, and similarly, they have never been represented in the Africa Cup of Nations. In this current qualifying stage, Chad's performance has been far from impressive. Losing all three matches and scoring only one goal, Chad faced defeats against Mali, Madagascar, and the Central African Republic. Thus, Chad has had a nightmarish start to the qualifiers and is likely to miss out on the World Cup once again.
The Comoros Islands national team is one of the youngest in the world. Their first participation in the World Cup qualifiers was in 2010. However, they have yet to break into the top 32 teams in the world. The Comoros Islands have only made one appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations, which was in 2021 when they reached the Round of 16. For the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, they have started with two wins and one defeat. The Comoros Islands triumphed over Ghana and the Central African Republic but fell short against Madagascar.
Chad and the Comoros Islands have never faced each other in official matches.
The Comoros Islands are likely to clinch a victory. Despite their brief history in official competitions, they have already achieved more than Chad. They had a better start to this qualifying stage, securing themselves in the upper half of the standings, while Chad remains the only team without points.
