Ghana Football Association Communications Director Henry Asante Twum has indicated that head coach Otto Addo will likely retain most of his current players for the upcoming international friendlies against Japan and South Korea. The Black Stars will meet Japan on November 14 before facing South Korea four days later as part of their preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Asante Twum told Joy Sports that Addo prefers maintaining squad continuity to support team chemistry and steady development during the rebuilding process. He noted the limited testing opportunities available before the tournament, with only one official international window scheduled for March 2025 following the Asian matches.
The communications director stressed that maintaining a stable core group becomes essential given the extended gap between competitive fixtures leading up to the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
