Former Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan backs current Black Stars team to win AFCON

Published on: 30 May 2023

Former Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan has thrown his weight behind the current Black Stars team to end the country's four decades of trophy drought.

The West African nation has not won the Africa Cup of Nations since 1982 despite coming close three times, reaching the finals in 1992, 2010 and 2015.

“The current squad have been in finals before, so I feel there is something to be done for us to win AFCON. We can still win the AFCON, our time has passed, so we just have to pray behind the current team so they can win the trophy for us” he said.

The 36-year-old featured for the Black Stars between 2007 and 2013 and proved his worth for the national team.

He scored two goals in 67 appearances for the Black Stars since his debut in 2007.

Annan had spells with Hasaacas and Hearts of Oak before departing for greener pastures.

The midfielder, who is yet to call it a quit had stints with Schalke 04, 1860 Munich, Osasuna, Beitar Jerusalem and others.
