AFCON 2027Q: Kurt Okraku backs ‘good enough’ Black Stars to fight for Ghana
There have been several changes made to the latest team called up for the international break due to injuries and precautionary measures as Ghana face Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia and Morocco.
Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku has expressed confidence in the current Black Stars players to compete against Cote d'Ivoire. Several changes have been made to the team due to injuries and precautionary measures as Ghana prepares for matches against Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia and Morocco. Despite these changes to Carlos Queiroz’s squad, Okraku is confident that the replacements are adequate to challenge for a positive result in Bouake.
"I am very positive that the players assembled are good enough, very dedicated to fight for Ghana," he stated. "What they need is support. We need the prayers of everyone to support the players and the team." Okraku further expressed his belief that if the team qualifies back for the AFCON, it would be a great honor for Ghana, as it is where they truly belong.
The Black Stars are set to travel to Bouake on Wednesday for their match against Côte d'Ivoire on Thursday, return to Ghana to face Gambia on Tuesday, September 29, and conclude their international break with a friendly game against Morocco on October 4 in Tangier.
