Ghana’s AFCON Hope Hangs by a Thread: Black Stars Face Niger at Accra Sports Stadium Nov 18
Ghana's AFCON Qualification on the Line
The Ghana Football Association has confirmed that the Accra Sports Stadium will host Ghana’s crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Niger on Monday, November 18, 2024.
The Black Stars’ Poor Run
Ghana’s chances of qualifying for the 2025 AFCON hang precariously in the balance. With just 2 points from 4 games, they sit third in Group F, trailing leaders Angola by 10 points and second-placed Sudan by 5 points.
Qualification Hopes Fading
To keep their slim hopes alive, Ghana must:
– Win remaining matches against Niger and Angola
– Rely on Sudan losing both upcoming games
