Otto Addo Embraces Germany Friendly as Crucial Test for Black Stars
Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has described Ghana’s upcoming international friendly against Germany as a valuable challenge as preparations intensify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana will travel to Stuttgart to face the four-time world champions in a high-profile encounter, a fixture Addo believes will provide the perfect benchmark for his squad ahead of the global showpiece.
“This is an amazing opportunity for us to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world,” Addo said while looking ahead to the match. “Germany are a good side, and we can’t wait to face them in Stuttgart.”
The friendly forms part of Ghana’s broader build-up to the World Cup, where the Black Stars have been drawn into a demanding group alongside Panama, England and Croatia. Addo and his technical team are expected to use the match to assess the squad’s readiness against elite opposition.
Facing Germany is seen as a major step in Ghana’s preparations, offering the players a chance to measure themselves against top-level competition and fine-tune key areas before the tournament kicks off next summer.
