Ghana's aspirations of advancing to the next round of the 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) were dashed after a resounding 11-3 defeat to Angola in their final group match.
The Ghanaian team had faced formidable challenges throughout the tournament, suffering crushing losses to hosts Morocco and Zambia in their initial matches. Despite heading into their last group game against Angola with hopes of securing a victory, the team fell short of their objective.
Coach Philip Boakye and his players showcased their futsal prowess in a spirited encounter against the Angolan team. However, they were unable to overcome their opponents, ultimately succumbing to defeat.
With this loss, Ghana exits the tournament without securing any points, while Angola and Morocco progress from Group A to the next round.
This tournament marked Ghana's second appearance at the Futsal AFCON, with their debut in 1996 culminating in an impressive run to the finals, where they were defeated by Egypt.
