Speaking ahead of the qualifiers, Addo stressed the need to avoid complacency despite the excitement surrounding Ghana’s chances.
“We are in a good situation and I hope that we can do everything to qualify. We have to take it step by step, we can’t make a mistake. A lot of people are talking about the World Cup already, but it’s still a long way,” he said.
Ghana will next face Chad on Matchday 7 before taking on Mali on Matchday 8 between September 1–9, 2025. Addo emphasised that the immediate focus is on the Chad fixture.
“The next is the focus on the Chad game and I hope that we can win,” he added.
The Black Stars currently sit well-placed in their qualifying group, and with training set to begin on September 1.
