‘No doubt’ Black Stars will beat Cote d’ivore in Accra – Carlos Quieroz

Carlos Queiroz remains confident that Ghana will defeat Cote d’ivoire in their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers match in Accra. The Black Stars suffered a 2-0 loss to Ivory Coast in their opening Group C qualifier on Thursday, with Malick Yalcouye and Franck Kessie scoring the only goals. Despite this defeat, Queiroz, 73, expressed certainty that Ghana will respond positively in the return fixture.

He acknowledged the historical advantage Cote d’ivoire holds in head-to-head encounters between the two nations, yet confidently stated, "I have no doubt about that, that we are going to win that game." The result leaves Ghana at the bottom of Group C after the opening round of matches, intensifying the significance of their subsequent qualifier against The Gambia on September 29 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Black Stars aim to reignite their qualification campaign for the Africa Cup of Nations, which they missed in Morocco for the first time in over two decades.
