Ghana midfielder Kwasi Sibo has emphasized the importance of securing qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in light of the team's previous failure to reach the tournament. The Black Stars missed out on the last AFCON in Morocco, which left the nation disappointed after a long-standing tradition of appearances in the competition.
The upcoming qualifying campaign will kick off with a challenging match against Côte d'Ivoire in Bouaké on September 24th, followed by a return home to host The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 27th. Speaking to the media after the team's opening camp, Sibo expressed his belief that qualification is a top priority for Ghana's football history and reputation.
He praised head coach Carlos Queiroz, describing him as a disciplined and tactical coach who prepares for matches based on the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition. Sibo acknowledged that there is still room for improvement within the Black Stars at both the team and individual levels as they begin this new phase under Queiroz.
He welcomed the opportunity for competition for positions within the squad, arguing that it can motivate players to improve and ultimately benefit the national team.
