Otto Addo Calls for Full Focus Ahead of Crucial Madagascar Clash
Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has urged his players to remain fully focused as Ghana prepares to face Madagascar in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Al Hoceima Grand Stadium tonight.
Following their emphatic 5-0 victory over Chad on Friday, the Black Stars have momentum heading into the match. However, Addo is aware of the challenge ahead and has warned against complacency.
“I think the most important thing is that I know everybody’s excited, everybody was happy about our last win, but we still have a long way to go, and we need everyone to be on their toes,” Addo told GFA media.
“We don’t need 98 per cent, we don’t need 99 per cent, we need 100 per cent. This is like a small final, and if we win this game, then we are really going to qualify, but it’s going to be very, very tough,” he added.
Kick-off is set for 19:00 GMT, with Ghana looking to maintain their position at the top of Group I. A victory over Madagascar would strengthen their bid for a fifth World Cup appearance in the USA, Canada, and Mexico next year.
