Mohammed Kudus issues apology to Ghanaians after Africon qualification fiasco

Black Stars midfielder Mohammed Kudus has apologized to Ghanaians following the team’s lackluster performances against Sudan during the October international break in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Otto Addo’s side played out a 0-0 draw at the Accra Sports Stadium before losing 2-0 in Libya in the reverse fixture.

The team’s performances in both games adds to the unimpressive run of form since June with fans expressing disappointment in the team.

Kudus, who was made the team’s captain in the absence of Thomas Partey, has come out with a statement apologizing to Ghanaians for the Black Stars outings.

In his statement, Mohammed Kudus said “As someone who captained the team in the two games, it is with great humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I issue this statement. On behalf of the entire team, I would like to extend our sincerest apologies to the people of Ghana for our recent performances against Sudan in Accra and Libya.”

Mohammed Kudus further assured Ghanaians that the Black Stars are determined to learn from their experience in the double header against Sudan to do better in subsequent assignments.

“We want to assure Ghanaians that we are committed to learning from our mistakes, regrouping, and working tirelessly to restore the Black Stars to our former glory. We value the unwavering support and loyalty you’ve shown us, and we’re determined to make you proud once again,” Mohammed Kudus said.

The new Black Stars captain further urged fans to stand by the team during their difficult period.

He stressed that the players in the Black Stars are determined to do everything to succeed.

The results from the two games leaves Ghana on the verge of missing out on a place in Morocco next year.

They now sit third in Group F with two points and trail Sudan who are in second by five points.

Ghana would have to win the remaining two games – Angola and Niger – in November and hope Sudan lose both of theirs as well to stand a chance of qualifying for the continental event.
