We improved against Germany despite defeat - Black Stars coach Otto Addo
Otto Addo pointed to signs of improvement despite a narrow 2-1 defeat to Germany in their latest international friendly. The result brought the Black Stars' March international break to a close. Addo said, "We improved a lot if you compare this game to the game against Austria, and we learnt a lot, and for us it's always good to get these kinds of experiences."
Ghana had entered the fixture still reeling from a heavy 5-1 loss to Austria in Vienna last Friday. Against Germany, Addo's side showed greater organisation and resilience. Substitute Fatawu Issahaku produced a moment of quality with a well-taken goal. Addo acknowledged the strides made while emphasising the value of facing strong opposition, adding, "Even though we lost, we are taking everything with us. And the boys will take everything with them. I thought it was good to face this kind of quality." The result extends Ghana's winless streak to four matches, following earlier defeats to Japan and South Korea in November 2025.
Attention now turns to upcoming fixtures as the Black Stars continue their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Friendlies against Mexico and Wales are on the horizon, with Ghana set to face a tough Group L featuring Panama, England, and Croatia.
