Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku, has expressed hope that the Black Stars will deliver a better performance at the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
In the last edition of the tournament hosted in Cameroon, Ghana exited the group phase with just one point, recording a draw against Gabon and suffering defeats against Morocco and Comoros.
With less than a month before the start of the 34th edition of AFCON in Ivory Coast, Okraku is optimistic that the team will improve and deliver a more commendable performance.
“Indeed, at the last outing, it did not go well. Everybody in Ghana saw what happened but we are looking forward to a much better outing at the AFCON in Ivory Coast.
“Fortunately for us, it is happening at our next door and I will call on all Ghanaians to remain supportive of the Black Stars because that is our national team we have.
“Even if the boys are not playing scintillating football, we have to throw weight behind them because that is our national team,” he added.
Ghana, whose last AFCON victory was in 1982 in Libya, has been placed in Group B for the upcoming tournament alongside Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique. The 34th edition of AFCON is scheduled to take place from Saturday, January 13, through to February 11, 2024.
