The Ghana national football team, known as the Black Stars, entered the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign with high expectations. However, they have found themselves at the bottom of Group C with zero points after two disappointing matches. The first match was against Côte d'Ivoire, where Ghana lost 0-2, with Franck Kessié scoring the only goal for the Black Stars through a penalty.
In their second match, Ghana faced The Gambia, and despite an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Michael Essien and Mubarak Afena-Gyan, they were unable to maintain their advantage. The Gambia equalized through a penalty scored by Badamosi and then added two more goals, bringing the final score to 2-4. The Black Stars' inability to recover from these defeats has left them at the bottom of the group table.
The federation has acknowledged their responsibility for the poor start and has formed a committee to search for a new head coach. With only four matches remaining in the qualifying window, the situation for the Black Stars is dire, but they still have the opportunity to prove themselves in the upcoming matches.
