Head Coach of Ghana's Black Stars,Otto Addo has warned that the team has not yet guaranteed a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite their emphatic 3-0 victory over Madagascar in the qualifiers.
Thomas Partey scored twice, with Mohammed Kudus adding another, as captain Jordan Ayew registered all three assists in a dominant display in Morocco.The win puts Ghana in a strong position in Group I, but Addo insists the team must remain focused.
With the victory, Ghana now leads Group I with 15 points, while Madagascar sits second with 10 points, followed by Mali in third place with nine points.
Post-match conference
At a post-match press conference, Coach Addo stated that the team is in a good position to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
He cautioned that the job is really not done yet saying maybe if Comoros wins, it’s just a three-point gap ahead of Comoros, and it’s still a long way to go.
He therefore stressed the need for the team to be focussed.
With several games left in the qualifiers, Addo stressed the need for his players to maintain their concentration and avoid complacency.
Qualifiers
Ghana will now turn their attention to the next round of qualifiers in June, as they look to solidify their place at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
