AFCON 2027Q: ‘There is always hope’ – Afena-Gyan confident Black Stars can qualify
The Black Stars lost their opening two games of the qualifiers against Cote d'Ivoire and Gambia in the extended September international break.
Forward Felix Afena-Gyan remains confident that Ghana's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification hopes are not yet sealed despite their disappointing start. The Black Stars suffered defeats against Cote d'Ivoire and Gambia in the recent extended September international break. However, Afena-Gyan believes there is still a chance for Ghana to keep their qualification aspirations alive.
The team faces Somalia next, a crucial match that could turn the tide in their favor. Afena-Gyan, who is likely to feature in the upcoming matches, urged fans to rally behind the team. He emphasized that it would be a mistake to dismiss Ghana's chances before the full AFCON qualifiers commence. "There is always hope that we can qualify for the AFCON," he stated, insisting that losing the two matches doesn't mean anything.
"Nothing is out of hand." Afena-Gyan, who scored in the 4-2 loss to Gambia, is looking forward to Ghana's next two fixtures against Somalia.
