2025 AFCON Qualifiers: Kwabena Yeboah cautions Otto Addo about Kwesi Appiah’s deep knowledge about Black Stars

Respected sports broadcaster Kwabena Yeboah has issued a caution to Ghana’s national team coach, Otto Addo, as he prepares to face Kwesi Appiah in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. Appiah, a former head coach of the Black Stars, is now leading Sudan and will face Ghana in a crucial doubleheader.

With the games fast approaching, Yeboah expressed concerns over Appiah’s intimate knowledge of the Black Stars, gained from his past roles as a captain, coach, and currently, a member of the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) executive committee.

“He knows all the inner workings of the Black Stars and is currently an executive committee member of the FA who sits in our meetings. I mean, it’s unbelievable,” Yeboah, who is the President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), remarked.

“I don’t know to what extent this weighs on you, and it will be surprising if it doesn’t really play on your mind,” he added.

Ghana is set to host Sudan on October 10 at the Accra Sports Stadium, with the return leg scheduled for October 15 at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Sudan.

Currently sitting third in their group with just one point, the Black Stars are determined to secure all six points from the upcoming fixtures to strengthen their chances of qualifying for AFCON 2025 in Morocco.

Addo and his squad will begin their training camp in Accra on Monday as they gear up for these decisive encounters.
