Angola’s national team coach Pedro Goncalves has cast serious doubt over Ghana’s chances of reaching the tournament finals.
The Black Stars face a must-win situation in their upcoming fixtures, needing victories against both Angola (November 15) and Niger (November 18) to keep their qualification hopes alive. However, even these wins might not be enough without favorable results elsewhere.
Speaking to Ghanasportspage, Goncalves praised Ghana’s football heritage while delivering his stark prediction: “Ghana remains one of Africa’s finest teams, especially in midfield and attack. Playing against them is always special,” he acknowledged, before adding, “However, their qualification chances are practically impossible at this point.”
Key Points:
- Angola tops Group F with perfect record (4 wins from 4 matches)
- Ghana sits third with just 2 points from 4 games
- The Black Stars remain winless in their qualification campaign
- Angola has already secured their AFCON 2025 spot
The contrasting fortunes of both teams are evident in the group standings, with Angola having already sealed their qualification while Ghana faces an uphill battle to maintain their traditional presence at Africa’s premier football competition.
