The Ghana Football Association has taken full responsibility for the disappointing performance of the Black Stars at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
After finishing third in a group including Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique, Ghana failed to advance to the Round of 16.
The team’s elimination was confirmed after losing 2-1 to Cape Verde and securing back-to-back 2-2 draws against Egypt and Mozambique.
This marked the second consecutive tournament in which the Black Stars exited at the group stages without a win, extending the country’s wait for its fifth AFCON title to 42 years.
In a statement on its website, the GFA expressed their sincerest apologies to the people of Ghana and all stakeholders for the team’s disappointing performance.
“We understand the disappointment and frustration that such results can bring to our passionate football-loving nation. Our team’s performance fell short of the high expectations we all share, and we take full responsibility for the disappointment,” the statement read.
