Otto Addo is the Black Stars Coach
Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, has called for humility and hard work as Ghana continues its quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The four-time African champions currently sit top of Group I with 15 points following back-to-back wins over Chad and Madagascar in March. With four games remaining in the qualifying series, optimism is growing among Ghanaians that the team is on course for another World Cup appearance, this time in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
However, Addo — who famously led Ghana to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar — has warned against complacency.
“It’s always easier to work when you win. But on the other hand, we have to stay humble. We have to keep on working,” he told ghanafa.org.
“If anybody thinks we are already at the World Cup, I can guarantee you, it’s not like that. I have seen too many things in football, and we really, really have to work hard to fulfil our aim,” he added.
Ghana’s recent international engagements saw mixed results, with a 2-1 defeat to Nigeria followed by a 4-3 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in the Unity Cup held in London last month.
The Black Stars are set to resume their World Cup qualifying campaign in September with crucial fixtures against Chad and Mali on Matchdays 7 and 8.
