The Black Stars technical team of Otto Addo, Chris Hughton, George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani will lead the team to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
This follows an announcement by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Tuesday that confirmed that the quartet will be in charge until the end of December 2022.
Addo will, therefore, be Ghana’s head coach in Qatar, while Hughton will also maintain his role as technical director.
Boateng and Didi Dramani, on the other hand, have also been retained as key members of the technical team that guided the team to qualify for the World Cup.
“The Ghana Football Association has appointed Otto Addo, Chris Hughton, George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani as coaches of the senior national team, the Black Stars until the end of December 2022,” a statement from the GFA said.
“The quartet who masterminded Ghana’s qualification to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament will stay on to see to Ghana’s preparation for the world cup, the 2023 AFCON qualifiers and the world cup itself.
“This follows an exhaustive negotiation and engagement with all relevant stakeholders including the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
“The Coaches will soon name their squad for Matchday 1 and 2 of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nation Cote D’Ivoire 2023 qualifiers and the four-nation tournament in Japan.”
Addo and the other members of the technical team will immediately turn attention to the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Ghana has been paired in the same group with Madagascar, Angola and the Central African Republic (CAR) in the qualifiers for the tournament, which will be hosted by the Ivory Coast next year.
However, the four-time African champions will begin the qualification series in June, with two games to be played.
The Black Stars will host Madagascar at the Cape Coast Stadium on June 1, before taking on CAR four days later.
Meanwhile, Addo’s side will also have to navigate their way through a tricky World Cup group later this year after being paired in Group H, alongside Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.

Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has called on both local and international investors to tap into opportunities in Ghana’s tourism, hospitality and creative industries.
Speaking in an interview yesterday with World Media USA Today, the Minister said government is committed to creating a conducive investment environment to support growth in the sector.
She highlighted key investment areas including hotels, fashion, music, film production, and tourism infrastructure.
Dzifa Gomashie also encouraged Ghanaians to invest in domestic tourism to help boost the local economy.
According to her, strategic investment in tourism and the creative economy will drive economic transformation, create jobs, and position Ghana as Africa’s gateway for heritage, culture, business and investment.
“Ghana has vast opportunities across tourism, hospitality and the creative industries. We are ready and open for business,” she stated.
The Minister’s remarks come as government intensifies efforts to leverage culture and tourism as drivers of economic growth and job creation.
