As the first Black Stars coach to get Ghana into two consecutive World Cups, Otto Addo creates history.
Otto Addo, the Black Stars’ head coach, has made a lasting impression on Ghanaian football history by leading his team to a second straight FIFA World Cup qualifying.
On Sunday, October 12, Ghana defeated Comoros 1-0 in their final Group I qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium, securing their spot in the 2026 World Cup.
In addition to being the driving force for Ghana’s return to the international scene at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after the side missed out on the 2018 tournament in Russia, the achievement makes Otto Addo the first coach to guide Ghana to back-to-back World Cup qualifying.
Ghana has qualified for the largest football competition for the fifth time.
The only African countries with more appearances on the international scene are Cameroon (8), Morocco (7), Tunisia (7), and Nigeria (6).
Ghana will now focus on getting ready for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the US, Canada, and Mexico will co-host under Otto Addo’s leadership.
