President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has urged Ghanaians to rally behind Black Stars head coach Otto Addo as the team prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Addo, a former Ghana international, came under fire after failing to qualify the team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). However, he redeemed himself by guiding the four-time African champions to secure a place at next year’s global tournament.
Ghana topped Group I with 25 points to book their fifth World Cup appearance, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Despite mounting pressure from some quarters for Addo’s dismissal, Mr Okraku reaffirmed his full confidence in the 50-year-old coach and called for collective national support.
"In Otto Addo I trust. He is a proud Ghanaian, and we must support him to succeed," he told Asempa FM.
He further appealed to the public to allow the technical team to work in a calm environment ahead of the tournament.
"The technical team need peace to work and we must empower them to go to the World Cup to excel," he added.
Ghana will learn their group-stage opponents for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on December 5.
