Several Ghanaian sports personalities have expressed deep disappointment after the Black Stars were held to a frustrating draw by Niger on matchday two of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which took place on Monday, September 9, 2024.

The Black Stars have yet to secure a win in the qualifying series, following a 1-1 draw with Niger in Morocco.

Ghana initially took the lead in the first half with a powerful strike from Alidu Seidu, ending the half ahead.

However, after missing two significant chances, Niger equalized in stoppage time when Oumar Sako scored from a rebound, capitalizing on poor defending by Ghana.

Currently third in Group F, Ghana must defeat Sudan in their next match on October 7, 2024, to improve their chances of qualifying for the 2025 AFCON.

Notable personalities such as Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo, Gary Al-Smith, Saddick Adams, Owuraku Ampofo, and George Addo Junior have shared their thoughts.

Some remarked that even with a good pitch, the team's inability to excel against Niger is a wake-up call for Otto Addo to intensify his efforts, as qualifying for AFCON could become challenging otherwise.
