2022 World Cup: Winger Kamaldeen Sulemana reacts to Black Stars early exit

Black Stars forward Kamaldeen Sulemana has expressed disappointment following Ghana's group-stage exit at the World Cup in Qatar.

The Stade Rennais forward made a substitute against South Korea and came on in the final Group H game against Uruguay.

Sulemana produced his best performance in the final game against Uruguay, but it was a little too late for the Black Stars to make a difference.

However, the Stade Rennais winger has shown gratitude to Ghanaians for their overwhelming support for the team.

"From Techiman to the World Cup. Alhamdulilah. What an honor to represent Ghana at the Mundial," he wrote on Twitter.

"Very grateful to the technical team for the opportunity and trust. Unfortunately, our journey ended in disappointments to ourselves, and all Africans instead of hope and inspiration to Ghanaians especially in these times.

"Heartfelt thanks to all Ghanaians and fans across Africa and the world who supported in person and from a distance with their hearts. Big thanks to everyone who has been supporting and believing in the dream since the beginning.

"Special mention to Techiman. It's always an honor to fly the flag of Ghana."

Sulemana will return to France to rejoin his Rennais teammates as they prepare for the resumption of Ligue 1 after the World Cup.
