Ghana's head coach Carlos Queiroz has expressed confidence that his team can match Ivory Coast's attacking prowess despite facing a setback in key forward players. The 73-year-old coach leads his team into their opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the hosts, Ivory Coast, at Stade de la Paix in Bouaké, starting at 19:00 GMT.
Despite several attacking withdrawals, Queiroz maintains that Ghana possesses the same qualities of power, creativity, and skill in their forward line, as highlighted by Ivory Coast's coach. Following the match against Ivory Coast, Ghana will host Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium three days later. The Black Stars are aiming to return to the Africa Cup of Nations following their absence from the 2025 finals in Morocco, marking a significant setback after more than two decades of consecutive tournament appearances.
Queiroz's team will conclude the international window with a friendly against Morocco in Tangier on 4 October, as they continue preparations for the rest of the 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign.
