2021 Africa Cup of Nations: No Black Stars player in team of the tournament

Published on: 08 February 2022

No Black Stars player was included in the team of the tournament in the just-ended Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

It comes as absolutely no surprise because the four-time champions were simply not good enough. They were abysmal and crashed out of the competition after the first round.

Ghana did not win a single match, losing to Morocco and debutants Comoros and then sharing the spoils with Gabon.

However, the team put together by the Confederation of African Football was dominated by champions Senegal, runners-up Egypt and then third-placed Cameroon with five players each.

Burkina Faso who placed fourth had three players with Comoros star man Youssouf M'Changama also included.

The team's attack is led by player of the tournament Sadio Mane, top scorer with eight goals Vincent Aboubakar and Egypt captain Mohammed Salah.

 

Black Stars return to action in late March when they play two games against Nigeria for a place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
