Ghana falls quiet after exit from 2026 FIFA World Cup

ACCRA, July 4 — The streets of Ghana’s capital, Accra, and the surrounding areas fell quiet after the country’s men’s football team, the Black Stars, was eliminated from the World Cup in the early hours of Saturday.

The usual wild jubilations on the streets, in pubs, restaurants, and various homes that characterized matches were nonexistent at the end of Ghana’s round of 32 encounter with Colombia.
