Former Ghana defender Emmanuel Ampiah believes it’s too early to think about winning the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations title.

The Black Stars will compete for the covetous trophy in neighbouring country, Ivory Coast as the search for a fifth continental trophy continues. It is important to note Ghana are without a major silverware since 1982.

Ghana arrived in Ivory Coast on Wednesday and will open their AFCON account against Cape Verde on Sunday before taking on Egypt and Mozambique respectively.

Ampiah was silent when speaking about the Black Stars chances of winning the AFCON 2023 title.

“It’s too early to think about the trophy because the players are not trusted. Anyone who says Ghana is going to win the trophy might have had a revelation. If not for that, then that person really has a lot of confidence and belief” he said.

“We should wait and start the tournament for us to get to a point before thinking about winning the trophy. I can’t say vividly that Ghana is going to win the trophy. I don’t want to deceive anyone, let’s wait and see” he said in audio aired on Kessben FM monitored by Footballghana.com.

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.
