Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has cautioned that they have qualified for the 2026 World Cup despite their convincing 3-0 victory over Madagascar on Monday.
Ghana strengthened their lead in Group I with emphatic results in the Matchday six games of the qualifiers at the Al Hoceima Grand Stadium in Morocco.
Goals from Thomas Partey and Mohammed Kudus sealed the win for the Black Stars with Jordan Ayew assisting all the goals.
However, Addo insists the team must remain focused.
“We are in a good position [to qualify for the 2026 World Cup], but this is also dangerous,” Addo said at the post-match press conference.
“Now, I am thinking about how to keep our heads focused [because] the job is really not done. Maybe if Comoros wins, it’s just a three-point gap ahead of Comoros, and it’s still a long way to go. We have to stay focused. If anyone thinks we are through, then he’s making a big mistake.”
With four games to end the qualifiers, Addo stressed the need for his players to maintain their concentration and avoid complacency.
“I have seen a lot of football, a lot of things happening, and we have to stay focused. I am happy, but like I said, the job is really not done,” he reiterated.
Ghana will now turn their attention to the next round when they take on Chad and Mali in the Matchday 7 and 8 games.
