Ghana coach, Chris Hughton has called for improvement and development ahead of the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
In the October international friendly games, Ghana recorded a shameful scoreline against Mexico and the USA, conceding six goals in both games.
The Black Stars suffered a 2-0 defeat to Mexico at the Bank of America Stadium and a heavy loss to the United States (USA) at the Geodis Stadium on Wednesday.
During a post-match conference after the USA defeat, the veteran gaffer acknowledged the need for further development as they prepare for the challenging AFCON tournament in January.
"The balances are from there; we need to develop more because we are going to a tough AFCON tournament in January, and we need to develop. I will continue to work hard to select the right squad and employ the correct tactics to ensure success," he stated.
The 34th edition of the AFCON is scheduled to take place from January 13 to February 11, 2024, with Ghana commencing their campaign on January 14 against Cape Verde.
Ghana meanwhile found themselves placed in Group B alongside AFCON record holders Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
Before the AFCON, the Black Stars will kick off their 2026 World Cup qualifiers next month, with their first game against Madagascar.
