We promise to work harder, address our mistakes, and strive for a better outcome in the future. Your understanding means the world to us,\u201d he said in the Twitter post on January 29,2024.<\/p>\n Ghana\u2019s campaign at this year\u2019s AFCON ended at the group stage, as they failed to secure a victory in any of their three outings.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0suffered a 1-2 defeat to Cape Verde and managed 2-2 draws against both Egypt and Mozambique in Group B, leading to their early exit from the tournament.<\/p>\n This marked the second consecutive AFCON edition in which Ghana failed to progress to the round of 16.<\/p>\n \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udded Richard Ofori apologises to Ghanaians after Black Stars\u2019 poor performance at the #AFCON2023<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/JKHBTtXGzW<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Owuraku Ampofo (@_owurakuampofo) January 29, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Source: www.ghanaweb.com<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
