Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has apologized following the Black Stars’ disappointing failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). 



The team concluded their qualifiers in dismal fashion, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Niger, which left them at the bottom of Group F with no wins from six matches—a historic low for Ghanaian football.



After the match, Okraku expressed deep disappointment, stating, “From the highest heights of world football on the 29th of March 2022 to the lowest ebb of AFCON qualifying matches. 



My heart bleeds.” He acknowledged the gravity of the situation and emphasized the need for a collective effort to rectify the problems plaguing the team.



“Definitely, this is not what we want or what we bargained for. At this point, only cool heads can prevail, and we as leaders of our sport will stay together, be honest with ourselves, and fix this problem,” Okraku said.



Despite the setback, Okraku remains hopeful and called for calm among fans. He stressed the importance of patience and unity in addressing the Black Stars’ underperformance.







 “The road to full recovery after normalization is definitely bumpy and rough, but our collective efforts and patience will lead to success, and Ghana, our beloved country, will triumph,” he added.



As a passionate supporter of the Black Stars, Okraku shared in the collective pain of the fans, assuring them that the team will rise from this setback. “It shall be well,” he promised.



In light of the recent failures, the GFA&#8217;s Executive Council is set to meet on Wednesday to discuss the team&#8217;s performance and make crucial decisions regarding the future of coach Otto Addo.
