The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced plans to revamp the structure of the men’s senior national team, the Black Stars, after their disappointing performance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote D’Ivoire.
Following a meeting involving the Executive Council of the Association and Chairmen of the RFAs, the GFA released a statement taking full responsibility for the underwhelming campaign and pledging to address the identified issues.
As part of the corrective measures, the GFA revealed that a comprehensive review will be carried out, covering various aspects of the team.
The GFA also issued a sincere apology to the people of Ghana for the team’s lackluster display in Ivory Coast, admitting that they fell short of the high expectations.
“…GFA wishes to assure all stakeholders that the requisite steps are being taken to address the issues at hand, and a thorough review of the team’s strategies, training, compensation, and overall structure is underway,” the statement read.
The Black Stars’ premature exit from the AFCON, with a third-place finish in Group B without a single victory, led to the dismissal of head coach Chris Hughton and the dissolution of the technical team.
In response, the GFA has set up a five-member committee, chaired by the Association’s Vice President, Mark Addo, to oversee the selection of a new head coach.
