Carlos Queiroz, the head coach of Ghana's national football team, is confident that his team is on equal footing with Ivory Coast as they prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches. Ghana, who missed out on qualifying for the 2025 AFCON tournament in Morocco, will kick off their Group C campaign with a challenging away match against Ivory Coast at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké on September 24.
During his recent press conference in Accra following his reappointment, Queiroz expressed his belief that the contest between the two teams will be a 50-50 affair. He acknowledged Ivory Coast's quality, stating, "They are as good as us, so it will be 50-50. They are good, we are good. Let's see on the day who can play the best football."
Ghana will return home for a match against The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 27. The coach aims to make a strong start to the qualifiers before concluding the international window with a high-profile friendly against Morocco at the Grand Stade de Tanger on October 4.
