The Black Stars' journey in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) has come to an official end in a disappointing turn of events.

The exit was sealed with Cameroon's crucial victory over Gambia, which mathematically ruled out Ghana's advancement despite their slim chance with only two points.

The Indomitable Lions, led by Rigobert Song, secured a dramatic 3-2 win over Gambia on Tuesday evening, securing third place in Group C.

This victory propelled Cameroon ahead of Ghana in the race to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, marking the end of Ghana's participation in the tournament.

Ghana's fate was sealed with their inability to secure a win in the competition, as Chris Hughton's side conceded two late goals in their final Group B game against Mozambique on Monday, January 23, 2024.

This marks the Black Stars' second consecutive group-stage exit from the continent's flagship tournament, following a similar fate in 2022 in Cameroon.
