The Ghana national football team represents Ghana in international association football and has done so since the 1950s. The team is nicknamed the Black Stars after the Black Star of Africa in the Flag of Ghana. It is administered by the Ghana Football Association, the governing body for football in Ghana and the oldest football association in Africa ( founded in 1920 ). Prior to 1957, the team played as the Gold Coast. Although the team qualified for the senior FIFA World Cup for the first time in 2006, they had qualified for four Olympic Games Football Tournaments when the tournament was still a full senior national team competition ; their best achievement was the third position at the 1992 Summer Olympics. The team has won the Africa Cup of Nations four times ( in 1963, 1965, 1978, and 1982 ) and has been runner - up 5 times ( in 1968, 1970, 1992, 2010, and 2015 ). After going through 2005 unbeaten, the Ghana national football team won the FIFA Best Mover of the Year Award and reached the second round of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. At the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, they became only the third African team to reach the World Cup quarter - finals, and in 2014 they competed in their third consecutive World Cup.

The Gold Coast Football Association was founded in 1920, succeeded by the Ghana Football Association ( GFA ) in 1957, which affiliated to Confederation of African Football and FIFA the following year. On 19 August 1962 at the Accra Sports Stadium, the Black Stars played Spanish giants Real Madrid, who were at the time Spanish champions, former European champions and intercontinental champions, and drew 3 -- 3. Charles Kumi Gyamfi became coach in 1961, and the Black Stars won successive African Cup of Nations titles, in 1963 and 1965, and achieved their record win, 13 -- 2 away to Kenya, shortly after the second of these. They also reached the final of the tournament in 1968 and 1970, losing 1 -- 0 on each occasion, to DR Congo and Sudan respectively. Their domination of this tournament earned the Black Stars team the nicknames of `` the Black Stars of West Africa '' and `` the Black Stars of Africa '' in the 1960s. The team had no success in FIFA World Cup qualification during this era, and failed to qualify for three successive African Cup of Nations in the 1970s, but qualified for the Olympic Games football tournaments, becoming the first team from sub-Saharan Africa to qualify for the Games, and reaching the quarter - finals in 1964 and withdrawing on political grounds in 1976 later winning the 1982 African cup of nations. After three failures to reach the tournament final, the 1992 African Cup of Nations saw the Black Stars finish second. 21st century Black Stars Continuum Prior to the year 2000, disharmony among the squad which eventually led to parliamentary and executive intervention to settle issues between two squad members, Abedi Pele and Anthony Yeboah in the late 1990s, may have played some part in the failure of the team to build on the successes of the national underage teams in the late 1990s, but a new generation of Black Stars players who went to the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship final became the core of the team at the 2002 African Cup of Nations, and were undefeated for a year in 2005 and reached the finals of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the first time the team had reached the global stage of the tournament. The Black Stars started by succumbing to a 2 -- 0 defeat to eventual champions Italy, but wins over the Czech Republic ( 2 -- 0 ) and the United States ( 2 -- 1 ) saw them through to the second round, where they lost 3 -- 0 to Brazil. Black Stars squad line - up prior to match In 2008, Ghana reached a high ranking of 14 according to the FIFA World Rankings. The Black Stars went on to secure a 100 percent record in their qualification campaign, winning the group and becoming the first African team to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. In the final tournament, the team competed in Group D with Germany, Serbia and Australia. Ghana reached the round of 16 where they played the United States, winning 2 -- 1 in extra time to become the third African nation to reach the World Cup quarter - finals. The team then lost to Uruguay in a penalty shootout in the quarter - finals, having missed a penalty kick in extra time after a certain goal was prevented by Luis Suárez 's deliberate handball, who was then shown a red card for his actions. In 2013 Ghana became the only team in Africa to reach four consecutive semi-finals of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations twice, from 1963 and 1970 and from 2008 and 2013. Ghana was sufficiently highly ranked by FIFA to start their qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in the Second round. They won the group, and in the following round qualified for the 2014 World Cup finals in November 2013, beating Egypt 7 -- 3 on aggregate in a two - legged play - off. Ghana was drawn in Group G for the finals, where they faced Germany, Portugal, and the United States. The World cup finals ended up in disappointment as Ghana exited in the group stages with issues of poor planning and payment bonuses being blamed for the poor performance, although they did manage a 2 -- 2 draw with Germany, who ended up winning the competition.

Kit and team crest Ghana home shirt : 1970s -- 1980s Black Stars 2008 Africa Cup of Nations 1st and 2nd kits Manufacturer Period Adidas 1957 -- 2000 Kappa 2000 -- 2005 Puma 2005 -- The black star is present on the Flag of Ghana and national coat of arms in the centre of the national crest. Adopted following the independence of Ghana in 1957, the black star has always been included in its kits. The Black Stars ' kits were sponsored by Puma SE from 2005, with the deal ending in 2014. The Black Star kit is used instead of the original gold, green, and red coloured football kit based on the colours of the Ghana national flag. The Black Stars have used an all - white and partly black football kit which was worn from the years 1957 to 1989 and again from 2006 until December 2014. Between 1990 and 2006 the Ghana national football team used the kit in the colours of the national flag of Ghana, with gold, green and red used extensively, as in the team 's crest and also known as the Pan-African colours. The gold with green and red kit concept and design was also used in the sixties and seventies, and designed with gold and green vertical stripes and red shoulders. An all black second kit was introduced in 2008 and in 2015, Black Stars ' gold - red - green coloured kit and all black coloured kit is to be reassigned to the position of 1st and 2nd kits following the induction of a brown with blue and gold coloured Black Stars 3rd kit in 2012. The Ghana national football team 's football kit for the 2014 FIFA World Cup was ranked as the best kit of the tournament by BuzzFeed. The current kit man for the Ghanaian Football Association is Andrew Strong. Organization and finance The Black Stars are headed by president of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi, and vice-president George Afriyie, with Frank Davis as director of football, and Edward Bawa as treasurer. The Ghana Football Association ( GFA ) signed a CN ¥ 92.2 million ( $ 15 million ) deal with Ghanaian state - run oil and gas exploration corporation, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation ( GNPC ), to sponsor the Black Stars and the renewable contract saw the oil and gas exploration corporation become the global headline sponsor of the Black Stars, with a yearly Black Stars player salary wage bill, following the gold mining corporations Ashanti Goldfields Corporation and Goldfields Ghana Limited ( GGL ), which had been sponsoring the Black Stars since 2005. On 28 August 2013, Ghana Football Association ( GFA ) launched a TV channel and named GFA TV, thus becoming the first football association on the African continent to launch its own TV network. The channel has the exclusive rights to broadcast all the Black Stars ' matches. In November 2013, the Black Stars signed a 2013 -- 2015 CN ¥ 30.6 million ( US $5 million ) and an additional classified multi-million private bank sponsorship deal with the Ghanaian state - run private banking institution UniBank. Supporters The Black Stars maintain an average stadium match attendance of 60,000 + and a match attendance high of 80,000 +, such as in the case of the Black Stars ' 2010 FIFA World Cup quarter - final against Uruguay in which was attended by 84,017 spectators. Ghana 's match against England on 29 March 2011 had the largest away following for any association football national team since the re-opening of Wembley Stadium in 2007. The match was watched by 700 million people around the world. Following the team 's appearances at the 2006 and 2010 World Cup tournaments they were greeted by several hundred avid fans dancing and singing at Kotoka International Airport in Accra. Rivalries Main article : Ghana - Nigeria football rivalry Ghana vs. Nigeria in the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations Quarter - Final The Black Stars ' main footballing rivalry is with the Super Eagles, the national team of Nigeria. The `` Battle of Supremacy on the Gulf of Guinea '' is between two of the most successful teams on the African continent. The proximity of the two countries to each other, a dispute between the different association football competitions and wider diplomatic competition for influence across West Africa add to this rivalry. In books and popular culture Products including books, documentary films, Azonto dances and songs have been made in the name of the Ghana national football team. These may be intended with commercial motives but are focused on previous and future World Cups or Africa Cup of Nations tournaments. Books : Several books have been published on the team 's history and participation in major tournaments. These include Ghana, The Rediscovered Soccer Might : Watch Out World !, about the history and performance of the Black Stars and also all the major association football national teams that the Black Stars have ever played against, and The Black Stars of Ghana by Alan Whelan ; about Black Stars commencing their progress through the final rounds of the 2010 World Cup and into the quarter - finals. Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Documentary films : In 2010 Miracle Films Ghana Limited showcased a vintage documentary film picture, Kwame Nkrumah & Ghana 's Black Stars, about Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah `` Africa 's man of the 2nd millennium '' and `` Pan-African pioneer '', who invested a lot of energy into making Ghana 's association football national team -- the Black Stars -- a force in African football. Nickname : The Black Star Line, a shipping industry line incorporated by the founder of the Back - to - Africa movement, civil rights movement leader Marcus Garvey and the organiser of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League ( UNIA ) from 1919 to 1922, gives the Ghana national football team their nicknames, the Black Stars of West Africa and the Black Stars of Africa. Dances : Upon the Black Stars scoring against opposition teams, dance forms of the worldwide popular Ghanaian Azonto were performed by Black Stars players in their goal celebrations in match victories at the 2010 World Cup and in 2013, a new elite dance version of the Ghanaian Azonto named ; `` ( Akan : Mmonko ) '' ( shrimp ), was established and showcased at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations by the Black Stars players. Black Stars goal celebrations in match victories at the 2014 World Cup and upon scoring against opposition teams, are to establish and showcase Alkayida. Songs : On occasions of past World Cups or African Championships, a number of Ghanaian musicians with music producers created hiplife football songs which were composed in the Akan language -- the 2006 World Cup song, `` Akan : Tuntum Nsorom Ye Ko Yen Anim, '' ( Black Stars, We are moving forward ) musical composed by the Musicians Union of Ghana, is to motivate the Black Stars to perform creditably in their quest for the capturing of the World Cup trophy. Black Stars ' captain and top - goalscorer Asamoah Gyan recorded and released a Hiplife song with ' Castro The Destroyer ', where he features under the alias ' Baby Jet '. The song is entitled `` African Girls '' and is sung in the Akan language and was launched onto the Ghanaian screens, continental West Africa screens and onto the Sub-Saharan Africa screens. The music video shows the famous `` Asamoah Gyan Dance '' goal celebration which he demonstrated at the 2010 World Cup and in the Premier League. The song `` African Girls '' won an award at the Ghana Music Awards in 2011. The 2010 World Cup song, `` Ghana Black Stars ( Official Song 2010 World Cup ) '' composed by Ghanaian hiplife music group `` Kings and Queens Entertainment '' approved by the Ghana Football Association ( GFA ) as the GFA has indicated that the Black Stars are a protected brand.
