Former Ghana Football Association Chairman, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has called for urgent, decisive action to rescue Ghana’s faltering World Cup campaign, urging the government to move swiftly for a proven, top-class coach capable of reviving the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

His intervention follows the sacking of head coach, Otto Addo, in the aftermath of Ghana’s 2-1 defeat to the German national football team in Stuttgart—a result that compounded growing concerns over the team’s trajectory.

The first open sale of tickets for the 2026 World Cup showed Fifa is charging up to $10,990 (£8,333) to be at the final.

In its World Cup bid book, the US, Canada and Mexico said tickets to the final would cost a maximum of $1,550 (£1,174).

Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Simeon-Okraku, has lifted the lid on the decisive call to sack Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, revealing that a damning review of recent performances, amid growing internal concern over the team’s direction, forced the FA to take the tough decision, despite the team's spirited performance against Germany.

The axe fell just hours after Ghana’s 2-1 defeat to Germany in a pre-World Cup friendly in Stuttgart last Monday, a result that extended the Black Stars’ miserable run to four straight defeats.

It was the face Thomas Tuchel twisted, as much as the words he spoke, that told you Phil Foden’s World Cup hopes are disappearing into a hole as deep and dark as the one he inhabits every time he plays for England.

False nine? False 10? It’s all a false economy with the 25-year-old, because the cost to the team is simply too high. What a shame that is, for talent is not the issue here.

Tuchel wishes it was different. He likes Foden. He wants him to be good. The problem, for England, is that he very rarely has been.
