Black Stars Management Committee Chairman Randy Abbey has expressed disappointment with the failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, saying the “least” they could do is secure a spot at the World Cup.
Ghana were winless in six matches, which saw them miss out on qualification for this year’s continental event, which kicks off in December in Morocco – for the first time since 2004.
However, the senior national team bounced back with eight wins from 10 qualifiers to reach the 2026 global showpiece.
"The team had disappointed Ghanaians by not qualifying for the AFCON," Randy said in an interview with Asempa FM.
"You can't cry over spilt milk; you can't reverse it; you cannot change it.
"But fortunately, [there was] another major engagement, and if for nothing at all, the disappointment [of not qualifying for AFCON], the least you can do is to at least qualify for the World Cup."
The draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is set for December 5 in Washington, where Ghana will learn their group-stage opponents.
