The SAFA boss added, “What we will demand is qualification for the next AFCON (Africa Cup of Nations) and the next World Cup and we have faith that we can manage that with the calibre of coach that we have.”
Meanwhile, Ghana will also tomorrow take on Ethiopia in the first match of the World Cup qualifiers.
