Otto Addo drags GFA to FIFA over contract termination, demands more than $750,000
Former Ghana coach Otto Addo has lodged a complaint with FIFA against the Ghana Football Association (GFA) following the termination of his contract in March, JoySports can exclusively reveal.
Former Ghana coach Otto Addo has taken the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to FIFA, alleging that the GFA unilaterally terminated his contract in March. The former Borussia Dortmund coach is seeking over $750,000 in compensation for what he perceives as a breach of contract. Despite multiple efforts to receive payment from the GFA, Addo is now directing his grievances to FIFA.
According to JoySports, Addo was contracted to earn $50,000 per month after signing a 34-month deal with the GFA in March 2024. He was only ten months into the agreement when it was abruptly ended following a Black Stars friendly loss to Germany in March 2026. It is currently unknown if a financial settlement was reached prior to the termination.
However, Addo's claim to FIFA suggests he is owed more than $750,000 for the remaining period of his contract.
