Communications Director for the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum is confident that Otto Addo and his coaching staff still have what it takes to secure Ghana's qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
Following the Black Stars' failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the technical team has faced mounting criticism, with many Ghanaians calling for their dismissal.
However, speaking in an interview with Asempa FM, Asante Twum acknowledged the challenges but expressed confidence in Addo's ability to guide the team to qualification for the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
"Otto Addo qualified us for the World Cup in Qatar but at that time, there was Chris Hughton, George Boateng and Didi Dramani," he said.
"I admit that this time, it is different but I believe that Otto Addo and his technical team are competent and capable of delivering Cup qualification," he added.
Addo is currently assisted by John Paintsil and Joseph Laumann, with Fatau Dauda serving as the goalkeeper trainer.
Ghana, currently in second place in Group I with 9 points, will face Chad and Madagascar in the upcoming qualifiers.

My advice to the coach is that he should go to the games that we recently won against Mali and Central Africa republic or even the other games that we won in the past and use the same formation and the players who started in those games to start. And even if those players are injured now then he should try using the games that the players are not injured to see if he can do that to win more games. He should try this by starting to play in a lot of friendly games to see if it will work. As for...
