\n
The Ghana FA has dismissed reports that President Kurt Okraku met with a German coach regarding the Black Stars, stating that these claims are \u201ccompletely false\u201d and should be disregarded by the public.<\/p>\n
The Black Stars have struggled in recent games and are on the verge of missing out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, leading to speculation about a potential replacement for under-pressure coach Otto Addo.<\/p>\n
Rumours intensified when Okraku travelled to Germany, but the Ghana FA clarified that his trip was \u201cto engage with representatives of Puma, the long-standing official kit sponsor of the Black Stars, to discuss matters of mutual interest and strengthen our partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe respectfully urge the media and the general public to disregard these unfounded rumours and refrain from spreading them.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, the FA did not offer any backing for Otto Addo amid the pressure on his position.<\/p>\n
The Black Stars will return to action this month with must-win games against Angola and Niger, as Ghana hopes to qualify despite slim odds, with Sudan needing just a draw from their remaining two games to seal Ghana\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
