Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, has assured Ghanaians of good football ahead of the team’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Mali and the Central African Republic.

Addo, who returned to take over the team following the departure of Chris Hughton, aims to qualify Ghana for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having previously led them to the 2022 edition in Qatar.

Speaking at the announcement of a 26-man squad for the upcoming matches in June, Addo expressed his delight at returning to the role and working with the Ghana Football Association once again.

“I’m really excited and happy to be back. It was not easy, but the GFA had good talks with Dortmund. I’m excited and looking forward to the next match,” he said.

Addo also emphasised that while he aims to have the team play good football, he cannot guarantee victories.

“I can’t promise victories, but I can promise you that we will play good football. I want to bring back the joy of watching us play. My players will not be afraid of the ball,” he explained.

Currently, Ghana sits fourth in the qualifying table with three points.

The team will need to secure all points when they face Mali in Bamako on June 6, before hosting the Central African Republic in Kumasi on June 10.
