Words not enough to erase disillusionment- Alexander Djiku after Ghana’s AFCON exit

Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku has expressed his disappointment over Ghana’s elimination from the 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire.

Ghana’s elimination from the competition was confirmed on Tuesday, January 23 after Cameroon beat The Gambia 3-2 to progress to the round of 16 stage as runner up in Group C.

On the other hand, the Black Stars failed to beat Mozambique in its final Group B game to crash out of the tournament after picking just two points in three games.

Writing on his X (formerly Twitter) page, following Ghana’s elimination from the AFCON group stage for the second edition in a row, the Fenerbache player stated

“Words will certainly not be enough to erase the disillusionment. We are disappointed and very sorry for our Ghanaian people that we have failed at this stage of the competition, but if you only knew how grateful we are to have been supported by you, our Ghanaian fans.”

Djiku won the Man of the Award for his starring performance in Ghana’s 1-2 loss to Cape Verde. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
