Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and Ghana Football Association (GFA) have reached an agreement to release Otto Addo for the Black Stars until 2023.

The Otto Addo-led team qualified the Black Stars to the global showpiece following a 1-1 draw against Nigeria in the final play-offs of the World Cup at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja in March.

The Technical team was made up of Aston Villa U-19 coach George Boateng and Mas-ud Didi Dramani of Nordsjaelland with Chris Hughton serving as Technical Advisor.

The 46-year-old became first Ghanaian to have represented Ghana at the World Cup and also qualified the team to the Mundial as a coach.

"I got permission from Dortmund. Under certain conditions, it works out that I can do the international game phases in June, September and also the World Cup," Addo said in a podcast of Hamburger Abendblatt.

Ghana have been placed in Group H together with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea for the World Cup which is scheduled for November 21 to December 18 in Qatar.
