Ghana international Rashid Sumaila has expressed optimism about the Black Stars chances ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
The West African powerhouse are in search of their fifth continental trophy having last won in 1982. The Black Stars will be competing for the title in neighbouring country, Ivory Coast next month.
Ghana are placed in Group B of the 2023 AFCON, alongside Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique.
“They will pull surprise in the AFCON. Let all support them” he told Footballghana.com.
Meanwhile, the Ghana FA has canceled initial plan to camp in South Africa and will now stage their preparation for the tournament in Kumasi.
The Black Stars 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.
