The Ghana Football Association’s Executive Council is set to hold a decisive meeting today, November 27, 2024, to evaluate the performance of Black Stars coach Otto Addo following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
This shocking development has left many Ghanaians deeply disappointed, as the nation had high hopes for the team’s resurgence on the continental stage.
The Black Stars, once a powerhouse in African football, have faced growing criticism for their inconsistent performances in recent years.
Failing to qualify for AFCON 2025 has only intensified calls for accountability, with many fans and pundits questioning the technical direction and managerial decisions under Addo’s leadership.
Today’s meeting is expected to be intense, with the EXCO seeking answers to critical questions surrounding team selection, tactics, and overall preparation during the qualifying campaign.
This key meeting will focus on reviewing the technical report submitted by Addo, which evaluates the Black Stars‘ performance during the qualifiers and assesses the overall effectiveness of the technical team.
Addo, who has faced mounting pressure from the public, will need to present a clear justification for the team’s poor showing and outline a roadmap for rebuilding confidence in the Ghanaian national team.
The future of the Black Stars hangs in the balance, with the Ghana FA tasked with making bold decisions to restore the nation’s footballing pride.
The Black Stars management committee was dissolved last week during an EXCO meeting, marking one of the initial steps taken to steer the national team back on track.
Ghana’s next matches will be in March next year when the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifications resume with fixtures against Chad and Madagascar, respectively.
