President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, has shared his belief in the Black Stars’ capability to win the 2023 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations.
It has been over 40 years since the Black Stars of Ghana last lifted Africa’s most prestigious football trophy, despite having come close in recent years, including that painful penalty shoot-out loss to Ivory Coast.
“Ivory Coast is possible. We have seen top-performing teams fail at big tournaments,” Kurt said.
“We have seen less experienced, unfancied sides win big tournaments, so it is possible.
“Again, whether in good times or in bad times, all of us here in our dear country called Ghana have only one senior men’s national team; it is the Black Stars, and we are the Black Stars, and we are Ghana.”
The Black Stars will kick off their campaign against Cape Verde on January 14, 2024.
