Black Stars players in full support of under-pressure Otto Addo

Under-fire Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has received strong support from players despite Ghana's failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). This marks the first time in 20 years that Ghana, four-time AFCON champions, will miss the tournament.

Addo's team endured a poor qualification run, losing three matches and drawing three, which led to criticism of his leadership. Calls for his dismissal have grown, but reports suggest he may retain his position.

The Ghana FA dissolved the Black Stars management committee, signaling potential changes, but Addo’s backing from players could influence his retention.

Appointed in March for a second stint, Addo now focuses on preparing the team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, set to resume in March 2025.
