Head coach Otto Addo and his technical team supervised the intense drills, focusing on tactical shape, set-piece routines, and team chemistry as Ghana seeks a vital win to boost their qualification hopes. The session, which was open to the media and a limited number of fans, showcased a motivated squad eager to deliver for the nation.
Key players including Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus, and Jordan Ayew participated fully, giving fans hope of a strong performance. The atmosphere in camp is reported to be positive, with the players determined to secure all three points.
The Black Stars currently sit in a competitive qualifying group and know that victory over Chad is essential to stay on track for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Ghanaians are expected to rally behind the team as the nation looks forward to another historic World Cup journey.
Black Stars head coach Otto Addo is set to receive $10,000 as his winning bonus for Ghana’s recent World Cup qualifying matches, a figure that falls short of the earlier estimated $20,000.
According to sources close to the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the agreed sum reflects the current financial framework for the qualifiers. While initial reports suggested that Addo could be entitled to double the amount, the GFA has clarified that $10,000 remains the official payout for each victory under his current terms.

Ghanaian songbird Gyakie has showered praise on Shatta Wale, hailing him as one of the strongest forces in Ghana’s Dancehall and Reggae culture.
Gyakie Celebrates Shatta Wale as the Pillar of Ghana’s Dancehall 17
Speaking in an interview with the Grammy Recording Academy ahead of her debut album release, Gyakie revealed that Shatta Wale features on track four, titled Harmattan. According to her, his presence on the project was intentional because his name has become inseparable from conversations around Dancehall in Ghana.
“In Ghana, when it comes to Dancehall and Reggae, Shatta Wale is one of the first names people mention. He’s done so much for the industry. After I recorded Harmattan, I felt it needed someone else, and his was the first voice I imagined on it,” Gyakie explained.
Detailing the collaboration, she said working with Shatta Wale was inspiring. He embraced the project wholeheartedly, adding passion and energy to his verse.
“We sent him the track, and he loved it immediately. The effort he put into it was clear, and when we spoke on the phone, he told me how much he enjoyed recording it. I’m truly grateful for his dedication,” she added.
Gyakie’s debut album also features 6lack (USA), Headie One (UK), and Young Jonn (Nigeria), but she stressed that these collaborations came from genuine connections and mutual respect, not just star power.
While highlighting Shatta Wale, Gyakie also recognized the broader impact of Ghana’s Dancehall movement — from Stonebwoy’s global reach to the rising stars shaping the culture. She believes every contribution strengthens the image of Ghanaian music worldwide.
“These are friends who respect my music, and I respect theirs. They loved the songs, and that made the process easy and the music sweeter. It reassures me that I’m doing something right,” she noted.
For Gyakie, this album is more than a personal milestone — it’s a celebration of Ghana’s diverse music culture, where voices like Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy continue to carry the nation high.

The high-profile case, which has seen years of courtroom battles over annulment, paternity tests, and property settlement, recently resurfaced after another legal twist. Reports indicate that a new lawyer representing Gyan has challenged parts of the ruling, claiming certain misconceptions may have influenced the previous outcome.
Speaking on her platform, Vim Lady openly threw her weight behind the football legend, arguing that Asamoah Gyan has been unfairly treated in the court of public opinion. She suggested that the former striker’s ex-wife benefitted from sympathy narratives that may have clouded legal judgments.
“Sometimes, the public is quick to judge without knowing the full details. Asamoah Gyan has worked hard for everything he owns, and we must be careful not to destroy his reputation over misconceptions,” Vim Lady asserted.
Her comments have sparked heated debates on social media, with some praising her for defending the former football star, while others believe she is being biased against Gyan’s ex-wife, who was previously declared the winner in aspects of the case.

A catastrophic landslide struck the village of Tarasin in the Marrah Mountains of western Darfur on August 31, killing over 1,000 people, according to the Sudan Liberation Movement–Army (SLM–A), which controls the region. Initial reports suggest all residents perished, with only a single survivor rescued from the debris.
Over 1,000 Killed as Landslide Wipes Out Village in Western Sudan 35
Heavy rains in late August triggered the collapse, completely leveling the village and burying homes, farms, and lives under tons of earth and rubble. The death toll includes men, women and children, and is being described as one of the deadliest natural disasters in Sudan’s recent history.
The SLM–A has appealed urgently to the United Nations and international relief agencies for assistance in recovering bodies and providing aid, noting that access is severely restricted due to ongoing civil war, which has displaced millions and created widespread famine conditions.
The disaster strikes amid Sudan’s third year of internal conflict, pitting the Sudanese army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has intensified in the Darfur region. Many villagers had sought shelter in the remotest parts of the Marrah Mountains after fleeing fighting in North Darfur’s Al-Fashir, only to be caught in this sudden, devastating collapse.
Local officials have described the episode as a “humanitarian tragedy beyond the borders of the region,” and warned that without urgent international action, many bodies may remain permanently unrecovered and bereaved families without closure.
