Former GFA vice-president George Afriyie remains optimistic about Ghana's chances of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), despite their poor start in the qualifiers. Ghana suffered a 2-0 loss to Ivory Coast and a 4-2 defeat to The Gambia, leaving them at the bottom of Group C with no points. Afriyie spoke to Sporty FM, emphasizing that the Black Stars' qualification hopes are still alive.
He urged the team to field its strongest squad for the remaining four matches, stating, "If we can win the rest of the games, hopefully we will qualify." Ghana's next qualifier is a double-header against Somalia at the Accra Sports Stadium, followed by a home match against Ivory Coast and a trip to face The Gambia. The 2027 AFCON will be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and Ghana is looking forward to returning to the continental showpiece after missing out on the 2025 tournament in Morocco.
