I never considered playing for Germany despite being born there – Otto Addo

Ghana head coach Otto Addo has reaffirmed his commitment to the national team despite the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the first time in 21 years.

Facing criticism after Ghana finished bottom of Group F with three points, Addo rejected calls for his resignation, expressing his sadness over the situation and its impact on fans and his family.

He highlighted his deep connection to Ghana, contrasting his dedication with players who switch nationalities. Born in Germany, Addo emphasized his pride in representing Ghana throughout his career.

The Black Stars’ poor performance, including a 2-1 home loss to Niger, left them 11 points behind group leaders Angola and five behind Sudan, marking a historic low point for the team.
