Ghana Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has urged Ghanaians to be patient with the national team, even though there are challenges that need to be overcome.
In recent years, the Black Stars of Ghana have been struggling in all competitions, especially in the AFCON. The team used to be among the best in Africa, but now there is a lot to be worked on to win trophies and claim that title back.

Most Ghanaians have shown their frustrations about the team suffering from back-to-back group stage exit from the AFCON in both Cameroon and Ivory Coast.
The Black Stars performed poorly in 2024, recording only 2 wins in 10 matches played, which led the team not to qualify for the 2025 AFCON.
Jordan Ayew admitted that it will take some time for Black Stars to get to where Ghanaians want it to be.
“International football has periods, and we are in a period of transition. The head coach [Otto Addo] has also come in with different ideas, so it will take time,” the Leicester City striker said.
“Look at Man City and their struggles this season, for example. It is the end of an era and it’ll take time for them to build again.
“I think we need patience because I’m convinced we have the players to turn things around.”
