Ghana Coach Milovan Rajevac has named his squad for the Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations – Cameroon 2021.

The Serbian trainer who named a 30-man provisional squad in December has pruned the squad to 28 having camped in Doha – Qatar since December 23, 2021.

AS Roma youngster Felix Afena Gyan and Clermont Foot midfielder Salis Abdul Samed missed out on the final list for the tournament which kicks off on Sunday, January 9, 2022 in Cameroon.

Ghana will play a friendly International against African Champions Algeria on Wednesday.

 

Milovan Rajevac who took over as Coach of the senior national team in November last year is expected to lead Ghana’s charge for a fifth Africa Cup of Nations trophy. The former Red Star Belgrade manager led the Black Stars to the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola where Ghana lost 1-0 to Egypt in the final.

 

The Black Stars will be making their 23rd appearance in a competition they have won four times in 1963, 1965, 1978 and 1982.

Ghana have been drawn against Morocco, Gabon and Comoros in the group stage.
