Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe <\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ghana Football Association\u2019s (GFA) Head of Public Relations and Strategy, Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe says the Black Stars will not relent on qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament despite their shaky start.<\/p>\n
The Black Stars chances of qualifying for the AFCON tournament for the first time in 20 years hangs by a thread after four games without a win.<\/p>\n
They began the campaign after suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Angola and drew 1-1 with Niger.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, they managed a draw against Sudan, and suffered a 2-0 defeat in the return fixture.<\/p>\n
The uninspiring results leave Ghana at the third spot in Group F with just two points.<\/p>\n
Notwithstanding the results, Armstrong-Mortagbe is brimming with optimism, and said on Metro TV<\/em><\/strong>, \u201cThe results this month will be telling.<\/p>\n\u201cAs long as there\u2019s a mathematical chance, we won\u2019t give up. It\u2019s either never say die or wo kum ap3m, ap3m beba,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
For Ghana to qualify, they must win against Angola and Niger in their final round of games this week and hope Sudan lose against Niger and Angola.<\/p>\n
Ghana will travel to Luanda to face Angola on November 15 at the Est\u00e1dio 11 de Novembro, and host Niger Republic three days later at the Accra Stadium.<\/p>\n
