À propos de cet audio

 From Divicage Productions, in association with GOAL, comes the second episode "The Rise, Fall, and Renaissance of the Black Stars", which chronicles the journey of Ghana’s national football team from its early dominance in African football to its struggles and eventual re-emergence on the global stage. The episode highlights the critical role of Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, in building a powerful footballing legacy, only for political turmoil and systemic challenges to undermine the team's progress. It examines the missed opportunities of the 1966 FIFA World Cup boycott, the impact of the 1966 coup, and the Black Stars’ decline during the late 20th century. Despite these setbacks, the emergence of Ghanaian stars in European football laid the groundwork for the Black Stars' historic qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a moment that reignited national pride and put Ghana on the global football map. Featuring: Stephen Appiah - Former Black Stars captain John Kufuor - Former President of Ghana Kofi Pare - AFCON winning Black Stars player of the 1960s Osei Kofi - Black Stars legend of the 1960s Sammy Kuffour - Former Black Stars captain Fiifi Anaman - Football historian Ken Bediako - Veteran football journalist Paul Darby - Sports sociologist Learn more about your ad choices.
