2026 WCQ: I hope we win against Chad – Otto Addo

Ghana head coach Otto Addo has stressed the importance of a win as the Black Stars prepare for their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash against Chad.

The two sides are set to face off on Thursday, September 4, at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno in N’Djamena for Matchday 7 of the qualifiers.

Speaking ahead of the fixture, Addo, 47, expressed confidence in his team’s ability to claim all three points.

“The next focus is the Chad game, and I hope that we can win,” he said.

Following the trip to Chad, Ghana will return to Accra to host Mali on Monday, September 8, for Matchday 8.

The squad is scheduled to hold training sessions at the Accra Sports Stadium today and tomorrow morning before departing for N’Djamena.

Ghana currently sits atop Group I with 15 points from six matches, positioning the Black Stars strongly in their bid for a fifth World Cup appearance.

They will round off their qualifying campaign in October against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
