Ghana football legend, Samuel Osei Kuffour has cautioned that the Black Stars must plan well ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The four-time African champions will be making an appearance at the 34th edition of the AFCON in Ivory Coast next year.
Having exited the group phase of the last edition of the AFCON in Cameroon, the Black Stars will hope to put up a good fight at the tournament.
With less than a month to kick start the tournament, Kuffour has cautioned that the team must prepare and plan well ahead of the tournament.
“I have always said that when it comes to AFCON, Ghana is always under pressure because we sometimes forget to plan but we prepare but there is a difference,” he told Kumasi-based Kessben FM.
“We always plan but we don't prepare. I don't there should be a problem when it comes to player selection but I hold the view that we should think of winning the next AFCON.
“We should not claim we have Kudus, Amartey and other players. It took Senegal many years for them to win the AFCON and they planned for that.
“We always prepare for tournaments but for planning, I doubt,” he added.
Ghana have been housed in Group B alongside Egypt, Cape Verde and Mozambique.
The Black Stars of Ghana will first come up against Cape Verde at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan on January 14, 2024, then face Egypt at the same venue four days later and then Mozambique at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium on January 22, 2024.
The 34th edition of the AFCON tournament will kick off from January 13 to February 11.
