Ghana striker Ernest Nuamah has issued an apology to Ghanaians for the Black Meteors’ dismal performance in the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The squad was eliminated in the first round, falling short of their goal of qualifying for the Olympic Games in Paris next year.
The FC Nordsjaelland star expressed regret for the Black Meteors’ performance, which fell short of expectations.
He stated, “No excuses, but our performances as a group were below expectations. Personally, I could have done better to help the team. As a group, if we ever have the opportunity again, Ghana deserves better.”
Nuamah further reflected, “I made some wrong decisions, but I am grateful for this opportunity.”
His apology is in reaction to Ghanaians’ unhappiness over the team’s early elimination from the competition.
The failure of the Black Meteors to achieve their planned aim of Olympic qualification has provoked debate and calls for introspection among the football community.
Ibrahim Tanko’s side defeated Congo, with Nuamah scoring, but were hammered 5-1 by Morocco before a 1-1 draw with Guinea ensured their elimination.
