Ghana Football Association president Kwasi Nyantakyi believes Ghana can win the 2017 AFCON following the team’s performance at the 2015 edition of the tournament in Equatorial Guinea.
Ghana finished second at this year’s AFCON after losing 9-8 on penalties to Ivory Coast following a goalless draw in regulation time.
Nyantakyi who has seen the Black Stars play two AFCON finals during his tenure but has failed to win the title, praised the team’s effort at the tournament and noted the experienced garnered will help the team win the next competition in 2017.
“I am very hopeful that the foundation laid in Equatorial Guinea 2015 will be the stepping stone for Ghana to win the trophy in 2017,” said Nyantakyi
“We may not have won the trophy but the statistics showed clearly that Ghana was the best team at this year’s tournament”, he added.
