The Black Stars of Ghana have officially failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after a crucial draw against Angola. This marks another setback in what has been a challenging era for the four-time AFCON champions.

Ghana’s struggles on the continental stage have been evident in recent tournaments:

2021: Eliminated in the group stage ❌

2023: Eliminated in the group stage ❌

2025: Failed to qualify entirely 

This latest disappointment leaves Ghanaian football fans questioning the team’s direction and performance. Once a dominant force in African football, the Black Stars now face the challenge of rebuilding and regaining their status among the continent’s elite teams.

As the team reflects on this failure, the spotlight will turn to what needs to change for a resurgence in the future. For now, Ghana will have to watch the 2025 AFCON unfold from the sidelines.
