Black Stars is on the right path under Otto Addo, says midfielder Kwasi Sibo

Black Stars midfielder Kwasi Sibo says he is confident the national team is progressing steadily under head coach Otto Addo.

His comments come after Ghana sealed qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be staged across the United States, Canada, and Mexico next summer.

Addo had faced mounting criticism following the Black Stars’ shock failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the first time in more than 20 years the team had missed the continental tournament.

Ghana finished bottom of their qualifying group after six matches, prompting widespread calls for his dismissal.

However, the former Borussia Dortmund trainer redeemed himself by guiding the team to the World Cup, topping Group I with 25 points.

Sibo, who made his senior debut against Mali, believes Addo’s leadership has fostered a strong sense of togetherness in the squad.

“One thing I’ve seen in this team is unity, and when a team is united and ready to fight for each other, it’s hard to beat,” Sibo told the Daily Graphic.

“We are very united, and I feel we are on the right track," he added

Since earning his first call-up, Sibo has started all three matches, helping the Black Stars close their qualifying campaign in impressive fashion.

Ghana will begin preparations for the World Cup later this month with international friendlies against Japan and South Korea, before learning their group-stage opponents when the draw is held on December 5.
