Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston says a miracle would be needed for the Black Stars to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. After two defeats, against Ivory Coast and then Gambia, Ghana are bottom of Group C without a point ahead of their two matches against Somalia in November, he told 3Sports.
A Ghanaian qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations would be a “miracle”, says former Ghana international Laryea Kingston, quoted by 3news. The Black Stars have taken no points from their first two qualifying matches, losing 2-0 to Ivory Coast and then 4-2 at home to Gambia.
Ghana are bottom of Group C ahead of a double-header against Somalia in November. The team have not won an AFCON qualifying match since September 2023 and have just one victory in their last twelve matches.
The national team missed AFCON 2025, their first absence since 2004. Carlos Queiroz left his post as head coach by mutual agreement, and the team are temporarily being managed by Kim Lars Bjorkegren, Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram. Ghana plans to appoint a permanent head coach by November, according to a report already published by our editorial team.
