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

Qualification Hopes Fading
To keep their slim hopes alive, Ghana must:
– Win remaining matches against Niger and Angola
