I have never seen a poor performance from Black Stars –Former Sports Minister

Former Sports Minister Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye has expressed his disapproval of the Black Stars' performance in their recent match against Gambia. Speaking to Joy FM, he declared it to be the worst he has witnessed during his career in football. The Black Stars, trailing 2-0 to Gambia, lost their lead in the second game of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Fans booed the players off the pitch following the match, reflecting their discontent with the outcome. Vanderpuye did not mince his words, stating, "In all my years watching football on television in the 70s, going to the stadium as a spectator in the 80s and working as a commentator and in management in the 90s, I have never seen a Black Stars performance as poor as we saw in the game against the Gambia."

He further questioned the reasons behind the team's poor showing, noting that the issues had been raised prior to the World Cup. Despite the loss, the Black Stars remain without points from their opening two games and find themselves at the bottom of their group, anticipating the next set of fixtures.
