Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, believes there is still room for improvement despite Ghana’s impressive victories in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

After a challenging 2024, the four-time African champions bounced back strongly in 2025 with a commanding 5-0 win over Chad and a 3-0 triumph against Madagascar during the March international break. These back-to-back victories ended Ghana’s six-game winless streak and propelled them to the top of Group I with 15 points, three points ahead of second-placed Comoros.

Speaking to Sportsblog247.com, Addo praised his team’s defensive solidity and attacking prowess but emphasized the need for better team cohesion.

“We have certain areas where we can always improve. We had a solid defence, and we also scored a lot of goals [against Chad and Madagascar],” he noted.

“But in between, the connection has to be much stronger, because especially the second game against Mali will be very tough. If we continue like that, we will be successful,” Addo added.

With four matches remaining in the qualifiers, the Black Stars will resume their campaign in September, facing Chad and Mali in crucial Matchday 7 and 8 encounters as they aim to secure a spot at the 2026 World Cup.
