The President of the Ghana Olympic Committee, Ben Nunoo Mensah, has expressed pessimism about the chances of Otto Addo qualifying Ghana for the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n He noted that the disastrous performance of the team in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which included being beaten 2-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium by Niger, is an indication of the coach\u2019s incompetence.<\/p>\n The GOC President stated that Otto Addo\u2019s tactical approach to games has not been convincing enough, which raises concerns about his job.<\/p>\n “I have not been convinced about Otto Addo’s coaching prowess, especially against Niger. In crucial games, the matches are being won by the coaches.<\/p>\n “Judging by the games we have played in the AFCON and what I expected from him, I don’t think he is competently good enough to qualify Ghana for the 2026 World Cup,\u201d he said in Twi while speaking in an interview with Asempa FM.<\/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, drew three, and won none of their six matches played in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. <\/p>\n 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, consisting of the reasons that accounted for the team\u2019s 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 Watch the latest edition of Sports Debate below: <\/b><\/p>\n![\"Ben](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/337\/33786778.295.jpg\" "\\"Ben")
