They saw a team that understood what it was supposed to do tactically, while there was room for individual expression within that framework. Essien, Sulley Muntari and Stephen Appiah had all progressed through the youth levels in Ghana, graduating to the senior setup at roughly the same time. Regarding the team itself, there has been a breakdown in trust at almost every level, with one bizarre incident involving Ghanaian journalists summing up the tension. The person was acting alone, however, and when the union found out, it organised a press briefing where it stated that there was no collective boycott threat. Eight nations have been based in Abidjan during this tournament and when it comes to each of their fans, the Ghanaian supporters have been the most sceptical, critical and downbeat of the lot. Through conversations with sources (some of whom have been stationed at the team hotel) who would like to remain anonymous to protect their employment statuses, The Athletic has been told why things have unravelled in such a disappointing manner.

However, poor organization and crumbling inter-team relations led to a disappointing tournament. They went on to lose to the United States and Portugal, though they did manage a 2-2 draw with eventual champions Germany. This performance was one of the many reasons behind the dissolution of the GFA in 2018, along with rampant corruption.

Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kurt Okraku is known for referring to himself as a «Game-changer» who was dedicated to giving Ghanaian football a new identity since coming into the role in 2019 (he was re-elected unopposed in October 2023). Yet the country’s national stadium — the 40,000-seater Accra Sports Stadium — failed a FIFA inspection last month. The years that followed have seen Ghana attempt to reconjure past glories — going so far as to rehire 2010 World Cup coach Milovan Rajevac in 2021 — while a new generation of players toiled in AFCON tournaments.

She had come close to setting up Kearns beforehand, but her Aston Villa team-mate could only direct the ball straight at goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan Fiindib. Russo almost scored with her first touch in the second half and hit the post after Beever-Jones and Lucy Bronze had headed efforts on to the crossbar. Before Russo struck, Kendall and Villa club-mate Missy Bo Kearns were among those to come close to adding to England’s opener, while Aggie Beever-Jones was denied on a few occasions.

In 1982, they unexpectedly won their fourth title after laboring through most of the tournament. In their semi-final match against Algeria, they needed a late-game equalizer to win the match in overtime. Fans of the national team have questioned the construction of Ghana’s squads and starting line-ups. Richard Ofori was Ghana’s goalkeeper for all three group games despite being the third choice for his club side Orlando Pirates. It was Ofori who needlessly gave away a corner in the dying moments against Mozambique that Ghana then conceded from to draw the game and ultimately knock them out of the tournament. The 2019–20 season was halted and eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana that mirrored the cause of postponement or cancellation of association football leagues and competitions across the globe.

For many followers of Ghanaian football, it all started to go wrong after the team reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 2010. Association football was brought to the Gold Coast near the end of the 19th century by merchants from Europe, who had by then conquered the coastal areas and built forts and castles to facilitate trade.
