Ghana head coach Otto Addo has called on his players to remain humble and focused as they prepare for their final 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Comoros on Sunday evening.
The Black Stars will host the Islanders at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 19:00 GMT. A draw will be enough to confirm Ghana’s place at next year’s World Cup, following their emphatic victory over the Central African Republic in their previous game.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Addo expressed his delight at being on the brink of qualification but cautioned his team against complacency.
"To be honest, I don't really care. This is my life, and as a player as well, it is not like everybody believed in me from day one, but you will have to fight, and I am happy and blessed to be in this situation," the 49-year-old said.
"But that is life. It is never like this. It is full of ups and downs. At the moment we are up and in the next moment, we could be down, so we will have to stay humble, and like I said, I hope we win, and like I said, that is life, but I am not looking at what has happened in the past but I am looking forward because we have a big chance ahead of us," he added.
Ghana are aiming to qualify for their fifth FIFA World Cup, having made previous appearances in 2006 (Germany), 2010 (South Africa), 2014 (Brazil), and 2022 (Qatar).
