The Ghanaian senior men’s team hosted their Sudanese counterparts in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The game ended in a goalless draw, leaving the Black Stars third in Group F with only two points after three games, a result that has left many Ghanaians frustrated.
Kwaku Manu took to his Instagram page to express disappointment in the Black Stars' lacklustre performance against the Sudanese team.
The comic actor shared that he had backed Sudan due to the way their coach, James Kwesi Appiah, was treated when he led the Ghanaian national team. Kwaku Manu noted that Ghanaians disrespected Kwesi Appiah during his tenure as coach and that the Black Stars have struggled since his departure.
“I have never wanted the Black Stars to lose a game, but I would have been happy if Sudan had scored us because of Kwesi Appiah. We don’t cherish what we have in Ghana. We haven’t played any good football since we sacked Kwesi Appiah,” he stated.
The Kumawood actor praised the former Black Stars coach for improving Sudan’s performance, allowing them to play quality football and secure a crucial point away from home.
He also called on Ghanaian leaders to step in and make necessary changes to revitalise the national team and restore it to the top of African football.
