The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has dissolved the Black Stars Management Committee in the wake of the team&#8217;s disappointing failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). 



The decision was made during an Executive Committee meeting on November 20, 2024, and was confirmed in a press statement released today.



In the statement, the GFA expressed gratitude for the contributions of the committee members, acknowledging their service to Ghanaian football. 



“We announce the immediate dissolution of the Management Committee of the senior national football team, the Black Stars. In doing so, we sincerely thank the members of the Committee for their service to Ghana Football over the years,” the GFA stated.



The committee, chaired by Mark Addo with Akwesi Agyeman as Vice Chairman, faced significant criticism for their perceived lack of involvement in crucial matches. 



Reports indicated that key members, including Addo and Agyeman, were frequently absent during the qualifiers, with Randy Abbey stepping in as delegation leader on several occasions.



Ghana&#8217;s failure to qualify for the AFCON marks a significant low point for the national team, ending a streak of 21 consecutive participations in the tournament. 



The Black Stars finished last in Group F, which included Niger, Sudan, and Angola, marking the first time the four-time AFCON champions have missed the tournament since 2002.



The team&#8217;s poor performance in recent years, including group stage exits in the last two AFCON tournaments, has led to widespread disappointment among fans. 



The GFA has acknowledged the struggles of the Black Stars and issued an apology to the Ghanaian public, promising to take steps to improve the team’s performance in future competitions.
