Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu strongly criticized Ghana’s national team following their 2-0 defeat to Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Badu expressed frustration over the team’s lacklustre performance and poor approach, citing long-standing issues within the national setup. Sudan capitalized on Ghana’s defensive errors, with Ahmed Hamed Mahmoud and Mohammed Abdelrahman scoring in quick succession. Badu stressed the need for structural changes across all levels of Ghanaian football, from youth teams to the senior squad.
