Central African Republic coach, Raoul Savoy, says his team will give their best to secure qualification for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ghana.
The Spanish-Swiss believes the game is a final and they will do everything possible to be in Ivory Coast.
The Black Stars will host ‘The Wild Beasts’ in their final Group E game at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Thursday, September 7, 2023.
Chris Hughton’s team leads the group with nine points, a point ahead of Angola and two above the Central Africa Republic. Madagascar is bottom of the group with two points.
Speaking to Ghanasportspage.com, Raoul admits Ghana is a favourite but they will try their best to cause an upset.
“Of course, Ghana is playing at home and they are the favourites. It is the final game for both teams. They are the biggest team in the group and it will be very tough but we are coming to Ghana to play our game and try our best to qualify,” he said.
“It is a final and in finals, the small one can surprise the big one. It’s clear that it is a final and both teams will be ready to focus on the goa. The main goal is to qualify for the next AFCON.”
The Black Stars need a point from the game to book qualification for the tournament to be held in Ivory Coast next January.
