The Black Stars of Ghana begin an AFCON march campaign with Accra Lions of Morocco on Monday. The Stars are ready to end the 40 years trophy drought, during this campaign, president Akufo-Addo is urging them to do the nation proud.
” Like with any other edition of AFCON, the Ghanaian people demand nothing short of ultimate glory from the stars, the pressure to succeed is understandably high, because of our status as four-time witness and also because it has been 40 years long since we last lifted the trophy, the target for you naturally is to bring the cup home. We have to go a step further than the second places recorded in 1992, 2010 and 2015. And bring the 40 years drought to an end the task may be tough, but it is certainly not insurmountable. I believe that in the current crop of players, we can match the talents of the best team on the continent”
Nana Akufo-Addo also called on Ghanaians to support the team to win the Continental showpiece.
” Now more than ever is the time to throw our unwavering support behind the team. Yes, I’m aware that there are 30 million coaches in Ghana, however, in this age of social media, we cannot allow any form of pessimism especially in our comments to filter through to the team, we cannot directly or indirectly afford to break the moral in the highs and lows, in good or bad times, we must show the team that we are Ghanaians, and we look out for each other no matter what “.
