Ghana head coach Otto Addo has acknowledged that securing victories will be crucial for the Black Stars as they push for a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The four-time African champions are set to regroup later this month for their next two qualifiers, facing Chad and Madagascar on Matchday five and six games of the campaign.
Following a disappointing run in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers without a single win, Addo visited the GA Mantse on Wednesday, March 12, to seek support, emphasizing the need for positive results to secure Ghana’s fifth World Cup appearance.
“We came to seek for your support and guidance,” the 49-year-old said.
“We have difficult matches ahead of us, and the country needs urgent victories to go the World Cup, and 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.
Ghana currently sits atop Group I alongside Comoros, both with nine points, after securing consecutive wins against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR) in their previous qualifiers.
The Black Stars will next face Chad on Friday, March 21, at 19:00 GMT at the Accra Sports Stadium before traveling to Morocco to play Madagascar at the Grand Stade d’Al Hoceima on Monday, March 24.
