Former Ghana Football Association vice-president George Afriyie has stressed the importance of the Black Stars fielding their strongest possible team for the remaining matches of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. Ghana currently finds themselves in a challenging position, having suffered two defeats in their opening two Group C qualifiers against Ivory Coast and The Gambia.
These results have left Ghana at the bottom of the group with zero points. Despite the setbacks, Afriyie remains optimistic about Ghana's chances of qualifying, stating that the team's aspirations for the 2027 AFCON are not yet lost. He emphasized the significance of assembling the best squad for the remaining games, given the league format of the qualifiers.
Ghana's next fixtures include 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 tournament will be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, offering Ghana the opportunity to reclaim their place among the continental football elite after missing the previous edition held in Morocco.
