Black Stars coach Otto Addo cautioned Ghanaians that the job of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is not done.
The Ghana Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, has warned the team and Ghanaians about the thought that they have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup after the 3-0 win over Madagascar.
Black Star made a great effort to secure 6 points in their last two games, giving them the lead in Group I. Against Madagascar they managed to keep another clean sheet; goals were scored by Thomas Partey and Mohammed Kudus, with Jordan Ayew assisting all the goals on the night.

However, Addo insists the team must remain focused.
“We are in a good position [to qualify for the 2026 World Cup], but this is also dangerous,” Addo said at the post-match press conference.
“Now, I am thinking about how to keep our heads focused [because] the job is not done. Maybe if Comoros wins, it’s just a three-point gap ahead of Comoros, and it’s still a long way to go. We have to stay focused. If anyone thinks we are through, then he’s making a big mistake.”
With four games to end the qualifiers, Addo stressed the need for his players to maintain their concentration and avoid complacency.
“I have seen a lot of football, a lot of things happening, and we have to stay focused. I am happy, but like I said, the job is really not done,” he reiterated.
