No AFCON for Ghana: GFA Apologizes and Dissolves Black Stars Committee

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced the dissolution of the Management Committee for the Senior National Team, the Black Stars, after their disappointing failure to secure a spot in the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Black Stars ended their AFCON qualification campaign in Group F with a mere three points, finishing at the bottom of the group standings. This marks the first time in 21 years that Ghana will miss out on the continental tournament.

In a statement released on Thursday, November 21, 2024, the GFA expressed deep regret over the team’s inability to qualify. “The Ghana Football Association (GFA) wishes to extend its sincerest apologies to the people of Ghana for the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for AFCON 2025.

We fully understand the disappointment and frustration this outcome has caused and stand in solidarity with our fans during this difficult time.”
