Evans Bobie Opoku, the deputy minister of sports, believes Ghana will be able to host the Africa Cup of Nations in the upcoming years.
The minister feels Ghana should be more than capable of hosting Africa’s largest football tournament given the present infrastructural upgrades for the 2023 African Games, which Ghana will host.
In 2008, Ghana successfully hosted the Africa Cup of Nations, where it placed third after losing to Cameroon in the semifinals.
“If Ghana is hosting the African Games, which is the continent’s biggest competition, how much is AFCON?” he said to an online portal.
“When we finish renovating our numerous stadiums, Ghana will host the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) soon.
“The Accra Sports Stadium pitch is currently at the same level as the stadium used for the AFCON 2023 tournament,” he added.
