Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo says he will stay committed to paying closer attention to the Ghana Premier League and help identify talents.
The 43-year-old made this statement after revealing his 26-man squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers next month.
Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Frederick Asare was the only local player included in the squad for the two matches.
Speaking to the press at the Ghana Football Association (GFA) headquarters on Wednesday, Addo stressed that, now being a full-time Black Stars coach, he plans to closely monitor the topflight league.
He stated that he would personally attend matches across various stadiums to scout talent.
“I will watch the Ghana Premier League closer and live not videos but I will be going to the various stadia,” he said.
“I will try to help as much as I can and I will watch closer because if a player is good, he is good and it doesn’t care where he is coming from or where he plays.
“If I like a player, I will take him and I will look close to find players from the local league,” he added.
The Black Stars will begin their training camp at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium Thursday. They will preparing for their game against Mali at the Stade du 26 Mars in Bamako on June 6, followed by a home match against Central African Republic on June 10 at the Baba Yara Stadium.
