GFA apologises to Ghanaians, accepts responsibility for Black Stars’ early AFCON exit

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has apologised to Ghanaians for the Black Stars’ group-stage exit from the 2023 African Cup of Nations tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.

Ghana crashed out of AFCON 2023 winless, losing their opening game in the competition to Cape Verde, before draws with Egypt and Mozambique saw them finish with two points.

In a statement on Tuesday, the GFA took responsibility for the Black Stars’ sub-par campaign, stating that it “fell short of the high expectations we all share.”

“We understand the disappointment and frustration that such results can bring to our passionate football-loving nation.

“We take full responsibility for the disappointment,” the FA said.

Head coach, Chris Hughton was fired after Ghana’s exit was confirmed and the technical team was dissolved.

The search for a new head coach is being spearheaded by a five-member committee led by Vice President, Mark Addo.
