Former Ghana defender Rashid Sumaila has added his voice to the Black Stars defeat against Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Ghana, who are four-time champions of the AFCON succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to the Falcon Jediane at the Benina Martyrs Stadium in Libya on Tuesday afternoon.
The result leave the Black Stars on the verge of failing to qualify for the CAF’s biggest tournament to be held in Morocco next year. The four-time African champions last failed to qualify for the AFCON tournament in 2004.
Speaking to Koforidua-based Bryt FM, the former Kotoko centre-back expressed his disappointment in the Black Stars after defeat against Sudan.
“I’m highly disappointed because I knew we were going to beat Sudan. I was sure of victory because we were going to play on a good pitch but it didn’t happen” he said.
The Black Stars will return to action in November to face Angola and Niger in their final Group F games.
Ghana now needs to secure wins against already-qualified Angola and Niger, while hoping that Sudan falters against these same opponents, to keep their chances alive for next year’s tournament in Morocco.
