Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew
Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has implored Ghanaians to be patient with the team amid their recent challenges.
Ghana, who are four-time African champions has endured torrid moments in recent years.
The Black Stars have suffered back-to-back group stage exit from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon and Ivory Coast.
In 2024, the team recorded just two wins in 10 matches played. However, the woes of the team were deepened after failing to qualify for the 2025 AFCON tournament.
Speaking to Joy Sports ahead of their 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar, Ayew, admitted it would take time to get the country to where Ghanaians want it to be.
“International football has periods, and we are in a period of transition. The head coach [Otto Addo] has also come in with different ideas, so it will take time,” the Leicester City striker said.
“Look at Man City and their struggles this season, for example. It is the end of an era, and it’ll take time for them to build again.
“I think we need patience because I’m convinced, we have the players to turn things around.”
Ghana will host Chad tonight at the Accra Sports Stadium before flying to play Madagascar on Monday in Morocco.
