Sannie Daara Questions the Quality of Black Stars Players

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Ibrahim Sannie Daara, has raised concerns about the quality of the current Black Stars squad, claiming that most of the players are “average” except for a few standouts like Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew, and Thomas Partey.

His comments come in the wake of Ghana’s disappointing performances in recent international tournaments, including early exits at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the last two Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) editions in Cameroon and Ivory Coast. The team’s struggles reached a new low when they finished bottom of Group F in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, failing to secure a spot in Morocco.

Speaking on Sporty FM, Sannie Daara attributed the team’s decline to a lack of top-quality players, emphasizing that the national team must rebuild if it hopes to compete at the highest level again.

With the AFCON dream shattered, the Black Stars will now shift their focus to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where they face Chad and Madagascar in March. Ghanaian football fans will be hoping for a turnaround as the team fights for redemption on the road to North America.
