In a shocking turn of events, Ghana’s Black Stars have officially failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), marking their first absence since 2004.

The team, a perennial contender in African football, struggled throughout the qualification process, managing only two draws and two losses in their first four matches. A critical 2-0 defeat to Sudan last month further diminished their hopes.

Ghana’s disappointing performance placed them third in Group F, behind Angola and Sudan, leaving their chances reliant on a combination of victories in the final matches and unfavorable results for Sudan. Unfortunately, the Black Stars fell short, sealing their elimination.

The failure has sent ripples through the Ghanaian football community, with fans and analysts questioning the team’s strategy and leadership. Head coach Otto Addo and his staff now face scrutiny as the nation reflects on what went wrong and begins rebuilding for future tournaments.

Chelsea Football Club has reportedly held discussions regarding a potential move from their iconic home, Stamford Bridge, to a new location in Earls Court. This move comes as part of the club’s ongoing efforts to resolve its long-standing desire for a larger, more modern stadium.

Background
Stamford Bridge, which has been Chelsea’s home since 1905, currently has a seating capacity of around 40,000. However, this capacity significantly limits the club in comparison to other Premier League giants like Manchester United and Arsenal, whose stadiums hold over 60,000 fans. As a result, Chelsea has been exploring various options to expand or relocate for years.

The Earls Court Option
One of the potential sites being considered is Earls Court, a former exhibition center located in West London. The site offers a significant amount of space that could accommodate a stadium with a larger capacity. Although the exhibition center was demolished in 2015, the area is undergoing redevelopment, making it an attractive option for Chelsea’s stadium plans.

Reports suggest that the club has been in early talks with the developers and stakeholders involved with the redevelopment of Earls Court. The idea would be to build a state-of-the-art stadium with a capacity that could exceed 60,000, aligning with Chelsea’s ambitions to compete at the highest level both domestically and in Europe.

Manchester United began their 2024-25 campaign with a loss on Saturday, falling to Manchester City on penalties in the Community Shield. United had been in a strong position to win the season’s traditional curtain-raiser twice—first in regular time, when Alejandro Garnacho’s brilliant effort gave them a late lead, and then again in the shoot-out, when Bernardo Silva missed City’s second penalty, giving the Red Devils the advantage.

Despite the disappointing result, Erik ten Hag will likely draw positives from his team’s performance, especially after a 2023-24 season in which United faced heavy criticism for their playing style and overall struggles in the Premier League and Europe. As United prepare to kick off their Premier League campaign against Fulham on Friday, here’s how famous9ja believes Ten Hag should set up his side at Old Trafford.

Here’s the possible line-up

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has revealed it discovered 3,000 individuals posing as graduates who never attended a university.

This announcement was made by JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, during a meeting with the leadership of the Committee of Pro-Chancellors of State Universities. The details were published in the board’s bulletin.

Prof. Oloyede expressed concern over the pervasive issue of illegal admissions carried out by some institutions, describing it as a significant embarrassment and disservice to the nation.

He pointed out that these fraudulent activities have allowed individuals to falsely claim graduate status without any legitimate academic experience.

“Some ‘graduates’ had never entered the four walls of a university owing to the endemic corruption in the system, but the board had documented over 3,000 of such cases,” the bulletin stated.

The issue of illegal admissions has long been a priority for JAMB. In December 2023, the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education demanded that JAMB present a list of tertiary institutions involved in irregular and illegal admissions.
