Ghana Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has vowed that his team will leave no stone unturned in their quest to defeat Mali in Monday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash.
Addo’s comments come in the wake of last week’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Chad in N’Djamena during Matchday 7.
Jordan Ayew had put the Black Stars ahead in the 17th minute, only for Celestine Ecau to equalize in the dying moments, ensuring both sides shared the spoils.
The result left Ghana’s top spot in Group I intact but under renewed pressure, as Comoros narrowed the gap with a 2-0 victory over the Central African Republic.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, Addo stressed that the team’s focus remains unwavering.
“The positive truth is that nothing and the status quo have not changed. Comoros have won their game, and they have gotten closer, but for us, nothing has changed,” the 48-year-old said.
“We want to beat Mali at home tomorrow, and that is what we expect to do. The only positive thing about Chad is that we still have it in our own hands, and we can decide our destiny, so we will put in everything to win against Mali,” he added.
The Black Stars will host the Eagles of Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 19:00 GMT, as they pursue a fifth World Cup appearance.
