In response to the disappointing elimination of the Black Stars from the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has issued a statement.

After winning one of their three games, Ghana was eliminated from the Group G tournament.

The Black Stars of Ghana needed at least a draw to advance to the round of 16 after falling to Portugal in their opening match and earning all three points against South Korea.

The team's final game was against Uruguay, where they were defeated two goals to nil.

The GFA while expressing gratitude to the Ghanaian populace and other groups for their support apologised for the team’s failure to progress out of the group stage.

"The Ghana Football Association is extremely grateful to the government,

the Ghanaian people, the football family, Corporate Ghana, our esteemed sponsors and supporters for their unflinching, unwavering and unalloyed

support during the Black Stars FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 campaign," part of GFA's statement read.

“We regret our inability to progress to the knockout phase of the competition and offer our profound apologies to the government, the people of Ghana and all stakeholders across the globe,” the GFA said.

According to the GFA, it has gathered valuable lessons from the team’s qualification and participation in the global showpiece and will communicate further developments in due course.

“We believe that valuable lessons have been learnt from our qualification and participation in the tournament and aim to continue with the positives going into the future."

“The Ghana Football Association would in due course inform all stakeholders about any further developments concerning the Black Stars,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, Head Coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo, has announced his decision to resign from the position.

"Me & my family are happy in Germany. I said I would step down after the World Cup even if we're world champions after the tournament. I've resigned from my role as Ghana coach," Otto Addo told the press in his post-match interview.
