\n
Former Black Stars defender Shilla Illiasu has called on the national team to prioritize long-term rebuilding efforts over immediate objectives like the AFCON and World Cup.<\/p>\n
His comments follow the Black Stars\u2019 disappointing loss to Sudan in their Match Day 4 fixture of the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers in Libya, a result that has cast further doubt on their qualification for the tournament in Morocco.<\/p>\n
With a crucial match against Angola in Luanda up next, Illiasu emphasized that while securing three points is essential to keep their AFCON hopes alive, the team must also focus on a sustainable strategy for future success.<\/p>\n
He warned that failure to adopt a long-term vision could see the team struggle in future competitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think going forward you made it clear the time has come for every Ghanaian to see that there is a problem with the team, and in other to build a very solid team, we need to forget about AFCON and World Cup and try to put a plan, either five years development plan and let the whole country understand that there is a problem with the team and give the coach the maximum support and let him understand that he should give us a plan,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
