2021 AFCON was a tough time - Ghana and Genk winger Joseph Paintsil

Published on: 04 November 2022

Ghana forward, Joseph Paintsil says the players were disappointed with their performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.

Black Stars finished bottom of Group E with just one point after losing to Morocco and Comoros and drawing with Gabon, failing to advance to the knockout phase of the competition.

This led to the sacking of Milovan Rajevac after Ghana's exit from the tournament.

"The 2021 AFCON was a tough time [for the Black Stars] We had a good team but I don’t know what really happened," Paintsil said on ‘Star Connect.’

"It is football and with football, anything can happen. We were all disappointed with what we showed [in Cameroon]."

"Every player’s mindset and determination was to come out from the group stage and go to the next level but unfortunately it didn’t happen. I was disappointed, the players were all disappointed and I know Ghanaians were also disappointed."
