Otto Addo Expected to Announce Squad for Crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifiers
As anticipation builds for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Black Stars coach Otto Addo is expected to unveil his squad this week. Ghana’s national team is gearing up for two critical matches: a clash against Chad on September 4 at the Stade Olympique Maréchal Idriss Déby Itno, followed by a home fixture against Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 8.
After a challenging year in 2024, the Black Stars have shown resilience in 2025, securing impressive victories over Chad (5-0) and Madagascar (3-0). With these wins under their belt, Ghana currently leads Group I and is poised to build on this momentum as they aim for their fifth World Cup qualification.
Coach Addo has been diligently scouting talent both at home and abroad, with John Paintsil and Fatau Daud monitoring local players to ensure a well-rounded squad. The combination of domestic and international talents is expected to play a pivotal role in Ghana’s quest for success in the qualifiers.
As the matches approach, Ghanaian players overseas have been hitting top form, showcasing their dedication and skill. Their contributions will be crucial in helping the Black Stars navigate the challenges ahead.
