Ghana Football Association president Kurt Edwin Simon Okraku quickly ran to Facebook and expressed his disappointment in Ghana failing to qualify for the 2025 AFCON.
The president wrote on his wall soon after the 2-1 defeat to Niger, “From the highest heights of world football on the 29th of March 2022 to the lowest ebb of AFCON qualifying matches. My heart bleeds”.
“This is not what we want or what we bargained for. At this point, only cool heads can win, and we, as leaders of our sport, will stay together, be honest with ourselves and fix this problem”, Kurt added.
“The road to full recovery after normalization is bumpy and rough, but our collective efforts and patience will win, and Ghana, our beloved country, will win.
“As a Black Stars fan and as the leader, I share in your pain and our pain.
“We will rise from this temporary setback. It shall be well”, Kurt concluded.
This is undoubtedly Ghana’s poor year since 2004, which was the last time the Black Stars failed to qualify for the AFCON. It is 20 years now, and whoever is in charge of our Football must bow down his head in shame for seeing the country hit rock bottom.
Ghana embarrassingly finished bottom of Group F which consisted of Angola, Sudan and Niger.
