In a heartfelt Instagram post, Black Stars’ goalkeeper Richard Ofori issued a sincere apology to the people of Ghana following the team’s underwhelming performance at the ongoing AFCON 2023 in Cote D’Ivoire. Ofori expressed deep regret that, despite their best efforts in previous matches, the team fell short of expectations, ultimately leading to their elimination from the tournament.
The apology comes in the wake of a critical error by Ofori that resulted in the equalizer for Mozambique, contributing to Ghana’s struggles in the tournament. The Black Stars suffered a defeat to Cape Verde and secured only two draws against Egypt and Mozambique, leading to their untimely exit from the African Cup of Nations.
Ofori acknowledged the disappointment felt by fans and thanked them for their unwavering support. He emphasized the team’s commitment to learning from the experience, promising to work harder, address mistakes, and strive for better outcomes in future competitions. The goalkeeper reassured Ghanaians that the team holds faith in God and is dedicated to the continuous improvement of their performance.
