GFA EXCO was split on Otto Addo staying as Black Stars head coach- Henry Asante Twum

Date:

Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum, has confessed that the GFA Executive Committee (EXCO) was split on Otto Addo continuing as head coach of Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team-the Black Stars- after Ghana failed to qualify to compete in the 2025 AFCON.

The 2025 AFCON will take place in Morocco from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026 with 24 nations set to compete for the title; Cote D’Ivoire are the defending champions.

Ghana failed to win a game in six 2025 AFCON qualifiers under Otto Addo that led to the Black Stars missing out on the continental championship for the first time in 20 years.

The GFA recently decided to keep Otto Addo in his role after reviewing his technical report and in an interview with Sporty FM, Henry Asante Twum stated that members on the GFA’s top decision making body were split on the decision.
