-

Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Kurt Okraku, believes the senior national team, the Black Stars have the quality available to win a fifth Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) title.

The West African country will be hoping to end a long wait to win yet another Afcon title since last doing so in 1982 in Cameroon next year.

The Black Stars last made a final appearance at the continental showpiece in 2015, where they lost on penalties to Ivory Coast.

With less than a month to kick off, he believes Milovan Rajevac and his charges have what it takes to win the ultimate.

“It’s been 40 odd years since Ghana won the AFCON but I believe we have a group of super-dedicated players who want to write their names in history and who would fight for glory and honour for Ghana at the AFCON.”
