Ghana's build up to next month’s FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar has received a significant boost with the arrival of Technical Advisor, Winfried Schaeffer.

Schaffer, who arrived in Accra Monday night, February 24, 2025, was met on arrival by Black Stars Assistant Coach Desmond Ofei.

The German tactician was appointed in January to provide technical guidance and oversee the development of football in Ghana. His role also involves working closely with the Technical Directorate to develop and implement long-term strategic plans for the GFA.

With a managerial career spanning over 40 years, Schaeffer brings a wealth of experience to the Black Stars. His notable achievements include winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon in 2002.

Ghana is set to face Chad and Madagascar in crucial World Cup qualifiers in March and Schaeffer's expertise will be invaluable in the team's quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
