Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has dismissed ongoing debates about Otto Addo’s future as Black Stars head coach, insisting the priority remains securing qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Addo’s position has become a subject of public scrutiny following a string of unconvincing performances, despite Ghana’s strong standing in the qualifiers.
The 49-year-old coach is one step away from guiding the team to a fifth World Cup appearance.
Speaking to Woezor TV, Asante Twum urged Ghanaians to rally behind the team rather than dwell on coaching uncertainties.
“At this point, the sole objective of the FA and the ministry is to ensure that Ghana qualifies for yet another FIFA World Cup. It will be great in our history to make it to the USA, Mexico and Canada,” Asante Twum said.
“So, issues about the future of the coach for me at this point are immaterial. The most important thing is for us to go into the game against the Central African Republic, win and seal our qualification, come back to Ghana and beat Comoros, to put a smile on the faces of Ghanaians after that.
“If there is any need whatsoever to think about the future of the coach, I’m sure the authorities will deal with that,” he added.
Meanwhile, Addo has named his squad for the crucial fixtures. Ghana will face the Central African Republic on October 8 at the Stade d’Honneur de Meknes in Morocco, before hosting Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on October 12.
The Black Stars currently top Group I with 19 points as they push to secure a place at the 2026 tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
