I’ll be supporting the Black Stars at the AFCON – Ex-Ghana coach C.K Akonnor
Former Black Stars coach, Charles Kwablan Akonnor says he will be supporting Ghana at the 2021 African Cup of Nations tournament which starts on Sunday 9th Janaury,2022.
Akonnor qualified the team to the AFCON but could not see through the job as he was sacked after a 1-0 defeat to South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Speaking in an interview with Happy FM on Friday, the former Black Stars captain and coach says he will be cheering on the team in Cameroon.
“I will be supporting Ghana. None of us can tell where the team will reach”
“It was a necessary friendly match ahead of the Morocco game. By now the technical team and management know what to do. I am hopeful by the time we play against Morocco things will get better ”, he added.
Ghana is seeking to end the almost four decade wait for the African Cup of Nations trophy when the 33rd edition kicks off in Cameroon this weekend.
The Black Stars have not won the biennial tournament since last winning in Libya in 1982 although the Ghana team has gone close three times in 1992, 2010 and 2015 but lost all finals to neighbours Ivory Coast and Egypt.
Many Ghanaians have lost faith in the team after their dismal showing in the only preparatory game against African Champions Algeria in Qatar on Wednesday.
Ghana is in Group C of the tournament with the likes Morocco, Gabon and Comoros and will play its opening game on Monday 10th January,2022.
