With a 1-1 draw against Angola at the 11th November Stadium in Luanda on Friday night, Ghana’s dreams of making it to the 2025 AFCON were formally crushed as the Black Stars’ losing streak continued.
With three draws and two losses in the qualifications and only two goals scored, the four-time AFCON champions have now lost five straight games.
With just three points from five games, Ghana is still at the bottom of Group F, meaning they will not be participating in the competition next year.
Following Nigeria’s unexpected 4-0 victory against Sudan, the Black Stars needed to defeat Angola and win their final match against Niger on Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium. Ghana’s slender prospects of qualifying were dashed by the Nigerians’ resounding performance.
The game against Niger now has no meaning for Ghana because there is no possibility of advancement.
Ghana will miss the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in twenty-one years.
