Former Ghanaian international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has expressed concerns that the Black Stars are heading in the wrong direction under coach Otto Addo.
The former Ghanaian international raised concerns following a dismal start to their 2025 AFCON qualifying campaign.
The team’s winless run in their first two matches has raised alarm bells, with a 1-0 home loss to Angola followed by a 1-1 draw against Niger.
With only one point from two games, Ghana’s chances of qualifying are under threat, sitting third in Group F with four matches remaining and only the top two teams advancing.
With the kind of quality players we have, and we struggle to string three or four passes together, even after taking the lead, Niger dominated possession and had 16 shots, three on target, while we managed six shots with three on target. After the game, the Black Stars got just one corner, Agyemang-Badu told Asempa FM.
I don’t think where we are going is the right direction. We used to reach the finals, and now we are getting eliminated in the group stage. At the moment, we are struggling to even qualify from our group. Things are getting tougher for us, he added.
Ghana will aim to revive their AFCON qualification hopes in October with a critical doubleheader against Kwesi Appiah’s Sudan.
