Black Stars head coach Otto Addo says his team is determined to respond strongly when they face Mali in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday night.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference at the stadium's Media Centre, Addo admitted that the 1-1 draw against Chad in N'Djamena left the entire squad frustrated but insisted that lessons have been learned. "The whole team, everybody was very disappointed after the draw in Chad.

The expectation was high for us to win, and we were disappointed.

We analysed the game very well and hope that we learned out of this," Addo said.
