Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Kobena Mensah Woyome, a Ranking Member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Youth and Sports, has disclosed plans for a public hearing to address the factors contributing to the Black Stars\u2019 disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).<\/b><\/p>\n

The Black Stars\u2019 campaign in the tournament ended in disappointment as they suffered an early exit, succumbing to defeats against Cape Verde and failing to capitalise on early leads in subsequent matches against Egypt and Mozambique.<\/p>\n

This marked their worst-ever run in the competition, exiting in two consecutive editions without securing a victory since the 2019 edition.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s dismal performance sparked widespread discontent among fans, with some even resorting to nationwide demonstration to petition parliament to investigate and take action to revitalise Ghanaian football.<\/p>\n

In a recent revelation, Woyome confirmed that parliament will summon key stakeholders involved in the AFCON debacle for a public hearing aimed at scrutinising the issues plaguing the Black Stars. Speaking to Akoma FM, he stated, \u201cI can confirm to you that there is going to be a public hearing regarding the Black Stars\u2019 performance at AFCON 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

The disappointing exit prompted the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to part ways with coach Chris Hughton, who has since been replaced by former coach Otto Addo. Addo, currently serving as a talent coach at Borussia Dortmund, is scheduled to assume his new role permanently in May 2024, following his supervision of Ghana\u2019s March friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda.<\/p>\n

Despite Otto Addo\u2019s tenure witnessing mixed results, with a loss to Nigeria and a draw against Uganda, it underscores the ongoing challenges within the team that require attention and correction.<\/p>\n

As parliament prepares to delve into the Black Stars\u2019 AFCON 2023 performance, the nation eagerly anticipates measures to address the issues and restore the team\u2019s success on the international stage.<\/p>\n
