Ghana head coach Otto Addo has urged his players to stay grounded as they prepare for their final 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Comoros.
The Black Stars will host the Islanders at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, with kickoff scheduled for 19:00 GMT.
The four-time African champions need just a point to confirm their qualification for next year’s World Cup following their emphatic victory over the Central African Republic.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Addo expressed his delight at the team’s position but warned against complacency.
“To be honest, I don’t really care. This is my life, and as a player as well, it is not like everybody believed in me from day one, but you will have to fight, and I am happy and blessed to be in this situation,” the 49-year-old said.
“But that is life. It is never like this. It is full of ups and downs. At the moment we are up and in the next moment, we could be down, so we will have to stay humble, and like I said, I hope we win, and like I said, that is life, but I am not looking at what has happened in the past but I am looking forward because we have a big chance ahead of us,” he added.
Ghana are aiming to secure a spot at the global showpiece for the fifth time, having previously appeared in 2006 (Germany), 2010 (South Africa), 2014 (Brazil), and 2022 (Qatar).
