Otto Addo has etched his name in the annals of the Ghana Football by becoming the first Ghanaian coach to lead the national team, the Black Stars, to back-to-back FIFA World Cup tournaments.
Having previously guided Ghana to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Addo has now secured qualification once again, this time to the 2026 edition of football’s most prestigious tournament.
The feat was sealed during the October international break, where the Black Stars recorded emphatic victories — a commanding 5-0 thrashing of the Central African Republic away, followed by a narrow but crucial 1-0 win at home against Comoros.
These two victories ensured that Ghana topped their qualification group with an impressive 25 points, emerging as one of the highest-ranked teams on the continent in terms of points.
It was under Addo’s guidance that Ghana famously defeated arch-rivals Nigeria in the play-offs for the 2022 World Cup, securing their place in Qatar through a hard-fought away goal advantage.
