Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has suggested that the core members of his current squad are likely to form the backbone of Ghana’s team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana sealed qualification for their fifth World Cup appearance after finishing top of their group with 25 points, booking a place at next summer’s tournament in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
While discussions continue over the possible inclusion of new diaspora talents, Addo stressed that loyalty, consistency, and trust will be key factors in finalizing his roster.
“I don’t know what will happen in 8 or 9 months, but I guess the core of this squad will stay. They deserve it,” Addo told 3Sports.
“They were there in difficult times. They played all the qualifiers, so this is what I will put in the whole box of deciding what to do,” he added.
The 49-year-old tactician made history on Sunday, October 12, becoming the first Ghanaian coach to lead the national team to consecutive World Cup qualifications.
The Black Stars will discover their group-stage opponents for the 2026 World Cup on December 5.
