The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council will meet on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, to deliberate on the future of Otto Addo as head coach of the Black Stars. This follows Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), a setback that has deeply disappointed fans and stakeholders.

Addo, who rejoined the Black Stars in March on a 34-month contract with an optional two-year extension, has come under intense scrutiny. Since his return, the team has recorded just two wins in nine matches, with their latest failure—a 1-1 draw against Angola—confirming their elimination from the AFCON qualifiers.

Ghana’s absence from AFCON for the first time in 21 years has sparked widespread criticism and calls for leadership changes. Addo’s tenure, initially marked by high expectations following his stint at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, has struggled to yield positive results in his second term.

Monday’s final qualifier against Niger at the Accra Sports Stadium will be a dead-rubber encounter, likely marking the end of Addo’s campaign with the team.

Beyond discussing Addo’s future, the GFA’s Executive Council is also expected to assess the state of the country’s football ecosystem, including the performance of other national teams and domestic competitions, as part of efforts to rebuild confidence and chart a new course for Ghana football.

The outcome of Wednesday’s meeting will likely set the tone for the future of the Black Stars and their preparations for upcoming international competitions.
