Chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee, Dr Randy Abbey, has revealed that Ghana’s senior national team’s technical setup will be strengthened ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Following Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the technical team was reinforced with experienced figures including Winfried Schäfer, Desmond Ofei, and Gregory De Grauwe.
With the Black Stars set to participate in next summer’s World Cup — co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico — Dr Abbey confirmed that further improvements are being planned.
“From where I sit, we are contracted to Otto. I haven’t seen the employers of Otto Addo call for a change. What I know is that before every major competition, AFCON or World Cup, we strengthen the technical setup, scouting, and medical team.”
“For every competition, we always beef up the technical team, whether it’s AFCON or the World Cup. In the areas of medical, technical, scouting, or video analysis, we bring in additional expertise.
“We are going to have that conversation to identify where our weaknesses are and how to improve. The goal is to ensure a better technical appreciation of what is before us."
Dr Abbey emphasized that the intention is not to replace Otto Addo but to build a stronger support system around him.
“The focus is on improving the structure around him, not changing him. We want to ensure the team is better equipped technically and tactically for the challenge ahead,” he concluded.
Ghana will discover their group-stage opponents for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on December 5.
