President of Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku has rallied support for the Black Stars ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars will be competing for the title in neighbouring country, Ivory Coast this month as the search for a fifth AFCON title continues.
Ghana are drawn in Group B, where they will face record-winners Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde in the group phase.
At the unveiling of the Black Stars squad for the tournament, Okraku urged Ghanaians to support the Black Stars, expressing optimism about the team’s prospect.
“We have one senior national team and it is the Black Stars so let us support them because it is possible” he said.
The Black Stars will commence preparation for the tournament on Tuesday in Kumasi.
Ghana have a history of success in the AFCON, having won the title four times, most recently in 1982. However, they have experienced defeat in three finals since then, including losses to Ivory Coast in 1992 on penalties and Egypt in 2010, as well as a repeat defeat to Ivory Coast in 2015.
The tournament is scheduled to kick off on Saturday, January 13 through to February 11, 2024.
