This marked the second AFCON edition in a row that had Ghana fail to progress to the round of 16 stage and the latest AFCON exit sparked heavy criticism to the Black Stars and Ofori apologized for the disappointment.
“As a collective, we fell short. We promise to work harder, address our mistakes, and strive for a better outcome in the future. Your understanding means the world to us” portions of his statement read.
Ofori has come under intense scrutiny over the part he played as Ghana threw away a two goal lead to draw with Mozambique.
