Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku says Black Stars have enough quality to win their fifth Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title

The four-time African champions last won the coveted trophy at the 1982 tournament in Libya.

The Black Stars have since been to three finals with the recent one in 2015, where they lost on penalties to Ivory Coast.

"Currently we have qualified to the AFCON (2021), people think that it is a given but it has come through hard work and soon we shall be in Cameroon to try to rewrite history," Okraku said during the Executive Council’s meet the press in Kumasi.

"It’s been 40 odd years since Ghana won the AFCON but I believe we have a group of super-dedicated players who want to write their names in history and who would fight for glory and honour for Ghana at the AFCON."

Ghana, who are paired with Morocco, Gabon, and Comoros in Group C will open their campaign with a game against the Atlas Lions of Morocco on January 10 before playing the Panthers of Gabon and the Coelacanths of Comoros on January 14 and 18 respectively.
