Black Stars head coach Otto Addo remains optimistic about Ghana\u2019s chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), despite the recent setback against Sudan.<\/p>\n
During the October international break, Ghana managed to secure only one point from four matches in a double-header against Sudan, leaving them on the verge of missing out on a place in Morocco.<\/p>\n
The Black Stars drew 0-0 in the first leg at home before suffering a 2-0 defeat in Libya in the return leg. As it stands, Ghana is positioned third in the group, trailing Angola and Sudan as they approach the final matches of the qualifying series.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not over yet,\u201d Addo emphasized in a statement to the Ghana Football Association\u2019s media team. \u201cMathematically, there is still a chance, and we will do everything in our power to keep this chance alive.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo secure their spot in Morocco, the Black Stars must win their next two qualifying matches in November while relying on Sudan to drop points in their remaining fixtures. <\/p>\n
Addo\u2019s determination and belief in his squad\u2019s potential will be crucial as they seek to turn their fortunes around in the qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
