Former Ghanaian national football coach, Kwesi Appiah, has conveyed his confidence in the Black Stars' ability to reach the final of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament. Appiah, who led the team from 2017 to 2019, shared his optimistic outlook in a recent interview, expressing his belief in the team's potential.
As Ghana prepares for the AFCON competition scheduled to take place in Cote d'Ivoire, football enthusiasts eagerly await the performance of the Black Stars under new coaching leadership.
According to the now-Sudan coach, a positive mindset and effective training regimens are crucial components for success in a tournament as competitive as AFCON.
