GFA urges C.K. Akonnor to end Ghana’s 38 years trophyless jinx in Cameroon

-

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has charged Black Stars head coach, C.K. Akunnor to win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.

Ghana has failed to win Africa’s prestigious tournament since 1982.

Interacting with the media Monday, management committee chairman of the Black Stars, Mr George Amoako, revealed that the target given the 45-year-old is to end the trophyless run.

“We have been to the AFCON several times and the target is simple to lift the trophy and it requires the support of everybody.

“It has been set by all Ghanaians. It is the wish of every Ghanaian to see the Black Stars win the Africa Cup of Nations after a long wait.

“Winning the AFCON would be a difficult task and it would require the effort of everyone to make this work,” he said.

Ghana has also been drawn in Group G of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers with South Africa, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia.

The Black Stars have played in three continental finals in 1992, 2010 and 2015.

C.K. Akonnor was appointed coach of the Black Stars in early January replacing his former boss Kwesi Appiah following the dissolution of the technical teams of the national teams.
