Ghana’s Ernest Nuamah: ‘Black Stars will do everything possible to qualify for the 2027 AFCON’

The winger, who would play no part for the Black Stars in their upcoming AFCON qualifiers against The Ocean Stars, is confident the four-time African champions would make it to the next continental flagship competition despite their shaky start to the qualifying campaign so far

Ghana international winger Ernest Nuamah has declared that the Ghana national team would ”do everything possible to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations ”, with Ghanaians told the qualifiers are ”not done yet” ahead of the Black Stars qualifying double-header against Somalia this month.

Following Ghana’s back-to-back defeats to lvory Coast and The Gambia in their opening first two matches in C and currently sitting at the bottom of the standings with a four-goal deficit, the 23-year-old winger remains defiant the west African powerhouse would still qualify for the tournament next year.

Speaking in an interview, the Right to Dream academy graduate has exuded confidence about his side’s chances of making it to the biennial continental flagship competition despite their poor start to the qualifying campaign so far.

He told CANAL+: ”Ghana has always been one of the top countries in Africa. It’s just that we haven’t really had good results recently, and it has been difficult for us. But at the end of the day, we are still Ghana.

”We are going to come up like before, and we are really going to do what we can to qualify for the AFCON. It’s not done yet, even though we have struggled a bit. We are going to achieve our goals and be there for the tournament,” he added.

Ghana must win their upcoming qualifying double-header against Somalia in order to keep their chances of qualifying to the next AFCON edition which is set to be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania from 19 June to 17 July 2027.
