President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku is confident the Black Stars will make a significant impact at 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 official unveiling of the Black Stars squad for the tournament on Monday morning, the Ghana FA capo expressed optimism about the team’s prospect ahead of the tournament.
“Ivory Coast is possible and we have seen top-performing teams fail at tournaments and we have seen less-performing teams win trophies at tournaments so it is possible” he said.
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.
