Otto Addo has stressed the importance of the Black Stars winning their next qualifiers to keep their chances of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup alive.
Ghana, a four-time African champion, will regroup later this month for two key matches against Chad and Madagascar in the qualifiers.
After a disappointing performance in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, where the team failed to win a game, Otto Addo visited the Ga Mantse on Wednesday, March 12, to ask for support. He emphasized that securing positive results is crucial for Ghana to qualify for the World Cup for the fifth time.
“We came to seek your support and guidance,” the 49-year-old stated.
“We have difficult matches ahead of us, and the country needs urgent victories to qualify for the World Cup. For that, I believe we need to support ourselves, especially the Ga chiefs and the entire people, so that everybody can be happy,” he added.
The Black Stars are currently tied at the top of Group I with Comoros, both having nine points. They recently secured consecutive wins against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR) in the qualifiers.
Ghana will take on Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, at 19:00 GMT. After that, they will travel to Morocco to face Madagascar at the Grand Stade d’Al Hoceima on Monday, March 24.
