Kofi Adams Sports Minister Says Not Impressed With Black Stars
Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams stated he is not impressed with the Black Stars’ performance.
He made this statement despite the national team’s mixed results in the World Cup qualifying campaign. Honorable Adams also said he was not impressed with coach Otto Addo’s performance.
“If I tell you I am impressed, then it means I do not know my job”
Speaking in an interview with Citi FM, Hon. Adams insisted that declaring satisfaction with Addo’s work at this stage would indicate a failure of his own duties. He emphasized that the Black Stars have not been consistent enough in their play.

Sports Minister Kofi Adams’ Concerns Over Poor Data & AFCON Failure
Adams has repeatedly cited “poor data”—statistical indicators of the team’s performance—as a key reason for his dissatisfaction. He pointed out that, under Addo’s leadership, the Black Stars failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), finishing at the bottom of their qualifying group with no wins. He expressed disappointment that the GFA retained Addo but dismissed his backroom staff despite the poor results..
Political & Practical Timing
Despite his criticisms, Adams has acknowledged that the timing of possible changes is delicate. With the 2026 World Cup qualifiers underway, he has said that making a sudden coaching change could risk destabilizing the team’s preparations.
For now, he seems more focused on supporting the existing technical setup, including recent reinforcements like the addition of Winfried Schäfer as Technical Advisor.
Kofi Adams has thus positioned himself as critical but cautious. He is registering concerns with the Ghana Football Association over Otto Addo’s retention and performance, but the GFA has taken no immediate action to remove the coach. Adams has made it clear that he expects explanations that justify Addo’s continued leadership, especially in light of underwhelming results.
