Andre Ayew has penned a touching statement following Ghana’s exit from the group stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Even though Dede Ayew did not mention his penalty miss, which will bring back the sorrow for Ghanaians, football fans, and supporters, he did recognize the players’ contribution and team spirit exhibited during the World Cup campaign.
