We need to check the commitment of every player – Black Stars coach Otto Addo

Otto AddoBlack Stars head coach Otto Addo has emphasised the importance of checking the commitment of players who are invited to represent Ghana.In the wake of Ghanas qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, discussions have intensified about the possible inclusion of foreign-born players to strengthen the national team.However, Otto Addo maintains that national team selection should go beyond mere talent or place of birth, stressing that commitment and unity must remain the foundation of the Black Stars.Speaking to 3Sports, the coach argued that this is important to ensure the unity in camp is not destroyed.I think Ghana should always have a certain pride. As a country, we need to check the commitment of each player, which is very crucial because we have very good unity, and we definitely dont want to destroy it by bringing players who dont have commitment, Otto Addo said.Increasingly, many people are pushing for Eddie Nketiah and Callum Hudson-Odoi, both born in England, to be drafted into the Ghana squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Others oppose the inclusion of these players, arguing that if they did not participate in the qualifiers, they shouldnt be given the chance to go to the World Cup next year.
