Former Vice-President of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie has called on the current administration to “keep faith” in Otto Addo despite Ghana’s struggles in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Black Stars are on a four-game winless run under trainer Addo and now on the brink of not qualifying for the continental event for the first time since 2004.

Ghana sit third in Group F with two points from available 12.

“I am not one of those who will say we have to sack Otto. We have to keep faith with him and make sure that he continues the process he has started because remember we still have the World Cup qualifiers,” Afriyie said.

“We have to give him the needed support. Going forward in this Afcon [qualifiers], let's accept that we are out and allow Otto to take his decisions and learn on the job and then we move forward."

Ghana must now win their final two qualifiers against Angola and Niger in November, while hoping Sudan, who sit second with seven points, falter in their remaining games, to stand a chance of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Angola have already qualified having secured 12 points with Niger languishing at the bottom with one point.
