Black Stars Technical Advisor Winfred Schaeffer says satisfying the expectation of the players is key to Ghana booking a place at the next World Cup.
The Black Stars currently occupy the second position in their 2026 World Cup qualification group, level on points with Comoros after four games.
Otto Addo’s side regroup again later this month for the next set of games against Chad and Madagascar as they target top spot before the final round of fixtures.
“We have to go to the next two matches with confidence, with a winning mentality. The players have to know when they come here and he goes back to the club, he is highly motivated, he’s fit, and nobody thinks in his home that Oh, now I have to go to Ghana and the field is not good,” he said in his first interview talking about the team’s World Cup chances.
“And the pitch is not good. The massage is not good. No. That is first what we have to do. We have to bring, the players have to be happy when they come here. Then we can make a big step towards the United States, Canada and Mexico. That is what we have to do.”
Ghana’s game against Chad will be played at the Accra Sports Stadium on March 21 before travelling to Morocco to face Madagascar on March 24.
