The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has called for a significant improvement from the Black Stars ahead of their World Cup qualifying matches. This follows the team’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), breaking a two-decade streak of consistent participation.
The Black Stars’ poor AFCON campaign saw them exit without a single victory, marking a dramatic decline in a side once known for its dominance.
The team has also struggled in recent years, failing to progress beyond the group stages in three consecutive major tournaments.
The GFA Executive Council, expressing deep disappointment, met with head coach Otto Addo to discuss expectations.
The Council emphasized the importance of a turnaround, reflecting the nation’s desire for success on the global stage.
With World Cup qualifiers approaching, the GFA has demanded a renewed focus and determination to rebuild the team’s reputation.
The Black Stars face the urgent task of rekindling their competitive edge and restoring national pride.
