Mohammed Kudus apologizes for Black Stars defeat against Sudan

Ghana and Westham United starboy Mohammed Kudus has apologized to Ghanaians for the pain caused by the Black Stars. Kudus who captained the team against the Nile Crocodiles wrote an emotional apology letter shared by the GFA days after the match.

As someone who captained the team in the two games, it is with great humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I issue this statement. On behalf of the entire team, I would like to extend our sincerest apologies to the people of Ghana for our recent performances against Sudan in Accra and Libya.

Despite our utmost effort and dedication, the results did not reflect our aspirations or the pride we have in representing our beloved nation. We understand the disappointment and frustration this has caused, and we share those feelings.

We want to assure Ghanaians that we are committed to learning from our mistakes, regrouping, and working tirelessly to restore the Black Stars to our former glory. We value the unwavering support and loyalty you’ve shown us, and we’re determined to make you proud once again.

We urge all fans to stand by us during this challenging period. Your encouragement and faith in us will fuel our determination to succeed. We will not give up.

We look forward to redeeming ourselves in the upcoming matches.

Ghana played out a goalless draw in front of a packed crowd at the Accra Sports Stadium before losing 2-0 to Sudan in Libya days later. The result left Ghana in third place in the group while Sudan cemented its place in second after moving to 7 points.

Ghana’s chances of progressing are slim with Sudan only a point away from sealing qualification alongside Angola. The Black Stars meanwhile will travel away to Angola on November 11 before welcoming Niger 7 days later to conclude the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

A failure to qualify will mean the team will miss out on the tournament for the first time since 2004 when it failed to make it to Tunisia. In that qualifier, Ghana failed to make it out of Group 13. Ghana was housed alongside Rwanda (group winners) and Uganda.
