2019 AFCON: George Afriyie backs Ghana to end trophy drought
14th March 2019
Former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie is confident the Black Stars can win the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
With a match to spare, Ghana have already secured qualification for the tournament, which is set to run between June 15 and July 13.
The four-time champions are seeking to end their 37-year wait for continental success, having won their last title in 1982.
Kwesi Appiah's side have come close to ending their drought at the last six tournaments, having reached the semi-finals, and even going as far as the final in 2010 and 2015.
"Ghana can win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations," he told Atinka FM. "Sometimes it's not easy because I remember in 2015, we nearly won the trophy but we failed to convert our chances during the penalty shootout.
"I believe with the right preparation and good timing, I believe we can win the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt," he added.
