Ben Nunoo Mensah Doubts Otto Addo’s Ability to Lead Ghana to 2026 World Cup

President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), Ben Nunoo Mensah, has expressed doubts about Otto Addo’s ability to lead the Black Stars to qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Ghana’s failure to secure a spot in the 2025 AFCON has further amplified concerns about the team’s direction under Addo.

In a recent interview on Asempa FM, Nunoo Mensah criticized Addo’s performance, particularly during Ghana’s recent matches at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

He cited the Black Stars’ game against Niger as a key example of the coach’s shortcomings.

“I have not been convinced about Otto Addo’s coaching prowess, especially against Niger,” he stated.

“In crucial games, the matches are being won by the coaches, and judging by the games we have played in the AFCON and what I expected from him, I don’t think he is competently good enough to qualify Ghana for the 2026 World Cup.” He added.
