Ghana's goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has urged his team to adopt a "tough mentality" as they kick off their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. Ghana opens their preparations against Côte d'Ivoire at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké on September 24, followed by a home fixture against The Gambia at Accra Sports Stadium three days later.
The Hearts of Oak goalkeeper, the only home-based player in Carlos Queiroz's squad, emphasized the importance of a winning start and a robust mindset. Asare stated that every player must remain ready to contribute, regardless of whether they are starting or on the bench. He reinforced the team's determination to restore confidence after failing to qualify for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
Asare acknowledged the competition for places in international football and urged players to respect the coach's decisions. After the qualifiers, Ghana will conclude the international window with a friendly against Morocco on October 4.
