The Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced on Tuesday the immediate termination of Otto Addo, the head coach of the national team, just over two months before the kickoff of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The decision comes after a series of unsatisfactory results in friendly matches, including a 2‑1 defeat against Germany and a 5‑1 loss to Austria. According to the GFA, these performances did not meet expectations for preparing the team adequately for the upcoming tournament.

The GFA president stated that the decision was made in the best interest of the national team and that no replacement has yet been appointed. The federation indicated that the recruitment process for a new head coach will be transparent and aims to ensure that Ghana is ready for the competition.

Despite this change, the Ghanaian national team remains qualified for the 2026 World Cup and continues its preparations for upcoming opponents. Supporters and observers of African football will closely follow this situation, which could influence Ghana’s performance on the international stage.
