Former Black Stars defender Rashid Sumaila remains optimistic that the team will bounce back from their recent poor form in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. Despite a 2-0 loss to Sudan, which jeopardizes Ghana’s qualification hopes, Sumaila urged the team and leadership to focus on finding solutions rather than assigning blame. He believes that with time and self-assessment, the Black Stars will improve. Ghana faces crucial matches against Angola and Niger in November, needing wins to keep their AFCON hopes alive.
