Selected to anchor the defense against Nigeria and Uganda, Addo’s performance in the unfamiliar role garnered praise, reflecting his adaptability and skill set.
Despite being deployed as a centre-back for the first time in the Ghana jersey, Addo’s composed displays underscored his readiness for the challenge, earning plaudits for his passing ability and defensive acumen.
“The coaches prepared me physically and mentally well to adjust to the new role. This boosted my confidence and I think I had a good performance in both games but there is still room for improvement,” Addo shared with the media.

His standout performances against Nigeria and Uganda provided a glimpse of his potential impact, offering Ghana a versatile defensive option moving forward.
Although Ghana experienced mixed results in the friendlies, Addo’s adaptability showcased his value as the team gears up for the crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers slated for June.
