Black Stars players have reacted with regrets and apologies following their inability to give Ghanaians maximum satisfaction by progressing out of their group in the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Black Stars were eliminated after the first round of the tournament following a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay on Friday, December 2, 2022, at the Al Janoub Stadium (Al Wakrah).

After defeating South Korea in their second group game, the Black Stars needed a draw or win against Uruguay to advance to the last 16 stage.
