AFCON 2025 Q: “Our performances were better than the results we got” – Black Stars Team Manager Ameenu Shardow asserts

Black Stars team manager, Ameenu Shardow, has defended Ghana's players despite their failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Ghana finished last in Group F with three points from three draws and three losses, including two at home.
