Black Stars coach Otto Addo remains hopeful about his team’s chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), even in light of recent challenges.Ghana's hopes of competing in Africa's premier football tournament are currently in doubt following a disappointing defeat to Sudan. The team had already faced obstacles, having lost to Angola and drawn with Niger in their opening matches in Group F.

With aspirations for victories against Sudan, the Black Stars could not achieve their goal, ending the first leg at Accra Sports Stadium in a goalless draw and subsequently losing 2-0 in the return leg in Libya.Now, with just two points from a possible 12, Ghana finds itself sitting in third place in the group.“Surely, we, as Ghana, should qualify for the AFCON.

Yet, mathematically, there’s still a chance, and we will do everything that is in our hands to hold this chance alive,” he told the Ghana FA Media.To keep their qualification hopes intact, the Black Stars must win their next two matches in the AFCON qualifying series scheduled for November, while also relying on Sudan to drop points in their upcoming games.
