The Ghana Football Association (GFA) faces a defining moment as it prepares to decide the future of head coach Otto Addo following Ghana’s dismal performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

For a nation with rich footballing heritage, finishing bottom of Group F with just three points from six matches was unthinkable. The campaign began poorly and only worsened, with a 1-0 loss to Angola, a 1-1 draw against Niger, and two consecutive defeats to Sudan. Angola soared at the top of the group with 14 points, while Sudan and Niger secured second and third places with eight and seven points, respectively.

The breaking point came when Niger clinched a 2-1 victory at the Accra Sports Stadium, leaving fans outraged and calling for Addo’s resignation. Despite the backlash, Addo refused to step down.

“I’m not the person who can resign,” Addo declared in a defiant tone during a post-match press conference. “If I had that mindset, I wouldn’t have made it as a player or coach. People shouting at me to resign cannot sway me.”

As pressure mounts from both fans and football stakeholders, all eyes are on the GFA’s meeting scheduled for Wednesday. The decision could mark the beginning of a new era—or further entrench a tumultuous chapter in Ghanaian football.
