The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, remains confident that Otto Addo and his technical team can secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
Following the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the technical team has faced intense criticism, with many calling for its disbandment.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Asante Twum acknowledged that the current technical staff differs from the one that led the team to the 2022 World Cup.
Despite these changes, he expressed confidence in Otto Addo’s ability to guide the team to qualification for the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
“Otto Addo qualified us for the World Cup in Qatar, but at that time, there was Chris Hughton, George Boateng, and Didi Dramani,” he said.
“I admit that this time it is different, but I believe Otto Addo and his technical team are competent and capable of delivering World Cup qualification,” he added.
Currently, Otto Addo is assisted by John Paintsil and Joseph Laumann, with Fatau Dauda serving as the goalkeeper coach.
Ghana, sitting second in Group I with 9 points, will face Chad and Madagascar in the upcoming qualifiers.
