Black Stars head coach Otto Addo believes his team still has room for improvement despite securing back-to-back victories in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Following a disappointing run in 2024, the four-time African champions have bounced back strongly in 2025, beginning the year with a commanding 5-0 win over Chad and a solid 3-0 victory against Madagascar in the Matchday 5 and 6 fixtures during the March international break.
These results ended Ghana’s six-game winless streak and propelled them to the top of Group I with 15 points, three points ahead of second-placed Comoros.
Speaking to Joy Sports, Addo acknowledged the positives but stressed the need for further refinement.
“We have certain areas where we can always improve. We had a solid defence, and we also scored a lot of goals [against Chad and Madagascar],” he said.
“But in between, the connection has to be much stronger because the second game against Mali will be very tough. If we continue like that, we will be successful,” he added.
With four matches left in the qualifiers, the Black Stars remain in pole position in Group I.
The team will regroup in September for crucial Matchday 7 and 8 encounters against Chad and Mali as they continue their quest for World Cup qualification.
