A renowned sports journalist, Veronica Commey, has expressed her heartbreak and disappointment following the Black Stars' failure to qualify for AFCON 2025.

Appearing on Joy News' PM Express on November 18, she did not mince words about the state of Ghana football, describing it as a wake-up call for those in charge of the sport. "I am heartbroken, but not because I'm a Ghanaian...first of all, I'm a football fan.

What it means is that I will be disappointed if we are unable to qualify for major competitions," she began, reflecting the collective sentiment of a nation.

This failure marks the first time since 2004 that Ghana's national football team has missed the Africa Cup of Nations, a stark departure from the team's glory days.
