Former Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Ibrahim Sannie Daara, has called on Black Stars head coach Otto Addo to instil a stronger sense of competition within the national team.
The Black Stars have faced growing criticism in recent weeks following their inconsistent displays in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana was held to a 1-1 draw by Chad before edging Mali 1-0 in the September international window, results that left sections of the public unconvinced.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Sannie Daara, who now serves as a senior CAF Media Officer, stressed the need for greater squad depth and accountability.
“On a normal Black Stars day, some of the current players would not earn a call-up,” he said.
“There should be three players for every position in the Black Stars to spark a fierce competitive spirit in the team.”
He further argued that underperformance should not go unpunished, insisting that players who fail to deliver must face consequences.
“There must be consequences for any Black Stars player who performs poorly after a call-up, and that is how we create a competitive spirit in a team,” he added.
The Black Stars will conclude their World Cup qualifying campaign next month with crucial fixtures against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
