We are not at the World Cup yet – Otto Addo – Nsemkeka
Black Stars head coach Otto Addo says the team needs to ‘stay humble’ as they have yet to secure qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana is on track to make it back-to-back appearances at the global stage following victories over Chad and Madagascar in the World Cup qualifiers in March.
The two victories pushed Ghana to the top of Group I in the qualification process, three points above second-placed Comoros with four games to go, ending a run of poor results.
Ghanaians are optimistic that their place in USA, Canada and Mexico is sealed, but Addo believes there’s a lot of work still to be done to make that a reality.
“It’s always easier to work when you win. But on the other hand, we have to stay humble. We have to keep on working,” he told ghanafa.org.
“If anybody thinks we are already at the World Cup, I can guarantee you, it’s not like that. I have seen too many things in football, and we really, really have to work hard to fulfil our aim.”
In their recent outing, the Black Stars lost to Nigeria while beating Trinidad and Tobago in the Unity Cup which was played in London last month.
The Black Stars are back in action in September when the World Cup qualifiers resume.
