Our former coach Otto Addo has been selected as a member of the Technical Study Group (TSG) for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
The former Borussia Dortmund forward, who is on record as having qualified Ghana for two consecutive World Cup tournaments, will work under the guidance of Chief of Global Football Development Arsène Wenger during this summer’s World Cup.
Led by Pascal Zuberbühler, the Technical Study Group will feature Otto Addo, Tobin Heath, Jürgen Klinsmann, Jayne Ludlow, Michael O’Neill, Gilberto Silva, Jon Dahl Tomasson, Paulo Wanchope, Aron Winter, and Pablo Zabaleta. The team of experts will provide deeper insights into all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches.
For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, fans will also get real-time insights from the group.
FIFA has unveiled the TSG for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, which will provide cutting-edge analysis of all matches at the competition while increasing and developing the understanding of the game across the world.
During the tournament, FIFA will share the most advanced metrics and performance data in FIFA World Cup™ history with the worldwide TV and online audience, as well as with the participating teams and their players. Developed by FIFA’s FPI team and Mr. Wenger, the Enhanced Football Intelligence service will offer new and exciting insights to enrich the coverage and analysis of every game through a unique set of in-match and post-match visuals presented as augmented reality and traditional graphics.
“The Technical Study Group helps identify trends in the game, prepare future generations for football’s development and contribute to making the sport more exciting by highlighting the qualities players will need in the future,” said Mr. Wenger.
“With an unprecedented level of high-quality data, the TSG will be able to describe, analyse and interpret what is happening on the pitch in a way that inspires both technical experts and football fans. We are not only collecting more data than before but also trying to strike the right balance between technical expertise and data. At the same time, we want to share our technical observations in real time during the tournament.”
The TSG will analyse all 104 matches at this year’s FIFA World Cup from a unique tactical position at the stadium or from their dedicated performance suite in Miami. They will have access to six video angles and thousands of data points live during each match. The players crowned in the tournament awards will also be selected by TSG members.
The home of the TSG is the FIFA Training Centre, an innovative platform available to players and coaches across the world. In a first for the FIFA World Cup, fans will also be able to get real-time insights from the TSG through the FIFA Training Centre social media accounts and YouTube channel.

The 32-year-old midfielder appeared before the Southwark Crown Court in London (United Kingdom) on Monday (13 April).
He denied twice raping a woman in the English capital in December 2020.
In July 2025, Partey was already charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, relating to alleged incidents from 2021 and 2022, Sky Sports reported.
He also pleaded not guilty to those charges.
The new accusations were announced in February. On Monday, Judge Tony Baumgartner agreed for all the charges to be tried together, possibly delaying the trial until January 2027.
In total, the former Arsenal player faces seven allegations of rape and one of sexual assault from four different women. He denies all the accusations.
“Thomas Partey continues to deny all charges against him. He has cooperated with the police throughout,” his lawyer Jenny Wiltshire said on Monday.
Partey, who joined La Liga club Villareal last summer, remains out on bail throughout the legal proceedings.
The Ghana midfielder is expected to play in the upcoming FIFA World Cup starting in June, although a new muscle injury is raising concerns regarding his participation.
In the meantime, Partey’s case is due to be listed in court for a pre-trial hearing on 14 May, according to Sky Sports.

GHANA SACK ADDO BEFORE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP
In news that made headlines in the last 24 hours, the Ghana Football Association sacked head coach Otto Addo 72 days ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The news follows Ghana’s 2-1 defeat against Germany in an International friendly on Monday night, a result that came after a mammoth 5-1 loss against Austria on 27 March.
Addo was appointed as Ghana head coach on 15 March 2024, while he previously took on an interim role with the Black Stars.
While Addo guided Ghana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the GFA will now enter the upcoming showpiece with a different coach and technical team.
“The Ghana Football Association has parted ways with the head coach of the senior men’s national team, Otto Addo, effective immediately,” the GFA said in a statement.
“The Association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours.
“The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course”.
