Abedi Pele remains optimistic about Ghana’s football future despite recent setbacks

Despite Ghana’s recent struggles in international competitions, legendary footballer Abedi Pele remains confident about the future of Ghana football.

The three-time African Footballer of the Year winner was in attendance as his team, FC Nania, faced off against the Ghana Black Galaxies, who are gearing up for the African Nations Championship qualifiers (CHAN) at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence, Prampram.

Pele’s optimism may seem misplaced to many Ghanaians, who are still reeling from the team’s abysmal performance in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

The Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the AFCON for the first time in 20 years has left many questioning the state of Ghana football.

However, the 60-year-old believes that the future of Ghanaian football is “in the making.”

“For me, the future is in the making. The future of Ghana football is in the making. The reason is, when you are born in this country and you are playing for the nation team, the bond, the hunger to succeed the courage, the determination is paramount.”

As the Black Galaxies prepare for the CHAN tournament, Pele’s presence and words of encouragement will undoubtedly serve as a motivation for the players.

While the road ahead may be challenging, Abedi Pele’s optimism reminds that Ghana football still has a bright future ahead.

Ghana will lock horns with arch-rivals Nigeria later this month in the playoff round for next year’s CHAN, with the first leg set to take place at the Accra Sports between Stadium 20-22 December 2024 before heading to Nigeria for the second and decisive leg between 27-29 December, 2024.
