The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has affirmed reports that the Black Stars technical team are owed some salary arrears.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview with Joy FM, Asante Twum clarified that it is not Addo alone whose salary has not been paid but rather the entire coaching staff.<\/p>\n
“I am not sure they have been fully paid by now because there are some salaries that are in arrears and we have to face it. We owe him [Otto Addo] a few months. Not him alone but the entire backroom staff,” he said.<\/p>\n
Otto Addo and his men have come under intense scrutiny over their failure to qualify the Black Stars for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.<\/p>\n
Ghana lost three and drew three of their six matches played in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. The team finished bottom of Group F with just three points, while Sudan and Angola qualified from the group.<\/p>\n
It marks the first time in 20 years that the Black Stars have not qualified for the AFCON.<\/p>\n
Otto Addo presented his report on the reasons for the team’s poor performance when he met the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council on November 27, 2024.<\/p>\n
The meeting ended inconclusively as the GFA indicated that they would engage more stakeholders, including the government, to determine the fate of Otto Addo.<\/p>\n
