The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has dissolved the Black Stars Management Committee following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
The decision was made during an Executive Council (ExCo) meeting on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, as part of efforts to address the fallout from Ghana’s disappointing campaign.
In a statement, the GFA expressed gratitude to the committee members for their contributions but emphasized the need for restructuring to restore the Black Stars’ fortunes.
The association also revealed plans to meet Black Stars head coach Otto Addo on November 27 to review his technical report and the performance of his staff since his reappointment in March 2024.
Addo’s second tenure has been marked by challenges, including Ghana’s failure to secure a single win in the AFCON qualifiers, which has led to the team’s first absence from the tournament since 2004.
Despite facing criticism, former assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko defended Addo, suggesting there is no guarantee that a new coach would produce immediate results.
However, the calls for Addo’s dismissal have intensified, with fans and pundits questioning his continued suitability for the role.
Following the ExCo meeting, the GFA issued a public apology for the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for AFCON and pledged to focus on the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where Ghana currently sits joint-top of Group I with three wins from four matches.
Further updates regarding the restructuring process and Addo’s future are expected after the November 27 meeting.
