George Afriyie confident Ghana will win AFCON 2019

The last time the Black Stars won the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1982, but the FA Presidential hopeful believes the team under the tutelage of Kwesi Appiah can end the country’s drought.

“Ghana can win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations,” he told Atinka FM. “Sometimes it’s not easy because I remember in 2015, we nearly won the trophy but we failed to convert our chances during the penalty shootout.
