2027 AFCONQ: Ghana can match Côte d’Ivoire’s quality – Kwasi Sibo

Black Stars midfielder Kwasi Sibo believes Ghana have the necessary quality to match Côte d’Ivoire as they prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. The Black Stars kick off their Group C campaign with an away match against the Elephants on September 24 at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké, followed by a home game against The Gambia three days later.

During a press conference on Monday, Sibo admitted that Côte d’Ivoire boasts talented individuals, but emphasized that the Ghana side possesses enough quality to compete against them. "It doesn't scare me as a player, and we all know the opponents in front of us," he stated. "They are a very good nation; they have good individual quality players.

We know them, but I feel like we also have quality players that we can match them, and we are ready for that match." Carlos Queiroz, Ghana's new head coach, aims to build early momentum in the qualifying campaign as Ghana seeks to regain their place in the AFCON, which they missed in the previous edition. The Black Stars will conclude the international window with a friendly against Morocco on October 4 at the Grand Stade de Tanger.
