The Communications Director for the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has reaffirmed the association’s commitment to elevating the Black Stars to one of the best teams in Africa.
Despite a challenging 2024, where the Black Stars managed only two wins from 10 matches and failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Ghana has started 2025 on a positive note.
The team secured back-to-back victories over Chad and Madagascar during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March, boosting their chances of securing a spot in the tournament co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
“We want to try as much as possible to continue our rebuilding process, to continue the effort in making the team one of the best on the continent,” Asante Twum stated in an interview with the Ghana FA media. “It will not come easy; it will come with a lot of friendlies, engagements, and competitive matches.”
The Black Stars are set to participate in a four-nation tournament in May, which will include Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and Nigeria. Ghana’s opening match will be against Nigeria on May 28 in London.
“We are not overly concerned about results. We are concerned about our team-building agenda,” Asante Twum added.
In the latest FIFA rankings, Ghana has moved up one spot, marking their first improvement since July 2024.
