GFA Gives An Update On Black Stars Technical Team After Surving Horrific Accident

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo and two of his assistant coaches, John Paintsil and Fatau Dauda, have been involved in a road accident.

The accident occurred on Sunday on the Tarkwa-Takoradi road while they were traveling back to Accra after watching a match between Ghana Premier League champions, FC Samartex and Ghana FA Cup holders Nsoatreman on Saturday, August 31, 2024.
