Ghanaians bay for Otto Addo’s head on social media as 2025 AFCON hopes chances slip away

Ghanaians have been venting their frustration on social media after the Black Stars of Ghana lost to Sudan by two goals to nil in the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers on October 15, 2025.

Some netizens blamed head coach Otto Addo for his squad selection and the tactics he deployed during the game, which did not help the team at all.

Others also lambasted and chided the Black Stars players for their mediocre performance, showing less commitment and passion while playing for the national team.

Ahmed Hamed Mahmoud Mohammed and Yousif Yagoub scored the two goals for Sudan to defeat the Black Stars who struggled to find their best form, failing to create chances and pose a threat to the Sudanese side as they had in the first game at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Sudanese team, led by Ghanaian James Kwasi Appiah, dominated the game and created good chances, which resulted in their deserved victory.

After four matches played, Ghana lies in third place in Group F with two points, Sudan in second place with seven points, while Angola leads with nine points, waiting to play their fourth game.

The Black Stars will travel to face Angola and play the last match against Niger in Ghana.

The chances of the team qualifying have become slim, with a defeat in any of the next two games likely to jeopardise the team’s chances of qualifying for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
