Ghana's Black Stars assistant coach Ibrahim Tanko has emphasized the importance of rekindling collective belief and a sense of duty among the players as the team prepares for their crucial AFCON 2027 qualifying matches against Somalia. The upcoming double-header, scheduled for November 12 and 16, presents an opportunity for Ghana to regain momentum in their quest for qualification.
The Black Stars have suffered a tough start to the campaign, losing their opening encounters against Ivory Coast and The Gambia. Facing the prospect of a bottom-of-the-group scenario without a point, Tanko stresses the need for maximum points against Somalia. Despite acknowledging the squad's quality, Tanko insists that the players must embrace their collective responsibility to turn their fortunes around.
The interim technical team, headed by Kim Lars Björkegren, is set to announce the upcoming squad as preparations intensify for the decisive fixtures. With Ghana aiming to return to the continental showpiece after missing the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, securing victories against Somalia in the group stage is deemed essential to keep their qualification ambitions alive.
