After a series of disciplinary concerns during the international friendlies with Nigeria and Uganda, Ghana's head coach, Otto Addo, has underlined his desire to tackle the fast-growing vice.

The Black Stars accumulated three red cards and five yellow cards in the double friendlies, including two against Uganda in the 2-2 draw.

Istanbul Basaksehir FK defender Jerome Opoku was given matching orders during the match against the Super Eagles, while Mohammed Salisu and Alidu Seidu received red cards in the game against the Uganda Cranes.

"The discipline on the pitch to play good, play hard, play hard but intelligent and not get silly yellow and red cards is something we have to address and work on."

With the 2-2 draw against Uganda, the 48-year-old coach expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance.

"The football we played was not good enough. We should have created more chances, especially in the final third. Finishing must be better but I have to say this is what I expected. The last games before I came, generally, we were not good."

Meanwhile, the Black Stars are gearing up to face Mali and the Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June.
