Ghana’s Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has issued a clear directive to the Black Stars technical team, urging them to approach their upcoming international friendlies with a winning mentality.
The Ghana national football team are set to face Austria national football team and Germany national football team as part of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Ghana will first take on Austria on Friday, March 27 at the Ernst Happel Stadium before travelling to Stuttgart to face Germany on Monday, March 30.
Speaking to Graphic Sports, Adams revealed he has already communicated his expectations to head coach Otto Addo and his backroom staff.
“I’ve told the coaches that these two friendlies, we are going with the mindset of winning, not just going to try players,” the Buem MP stated.
The Black Stars opened camp on Sunday and held their first training session on Monday with 21 players. Reinforcements are expected, with Alexander Djiku and Kojo Oppong Peprah set to join the squad.
Beyond the March fixtures, Ghana have lined up additional high-profile friendlies against Mexico national football team and Wales national football team in May and June as part of their final build-up to the World Cup.
