President of the GFA, Kurt Okraku, has urged Ghanaians to support the Black Stars’ technical team in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire in 2023.

He said this on Monday at the Alisa Hotel in Accra during the press conference to announce the squad for the tournament.

Mr. Okraku underlined that the two most crucial components required to propel the team to greater heights at the Africa Cup of Nations are positivity and support.

‘’Coach Chris Hughton and the rest of the backroom staff need your support and I am extremely happy that all of us are here. It’s a signal of our commitment towards offering this technical team and our players our undiluted support’’ President Simeon-Okraku said.

‘’Ivory Coast is possible. We have seen top performing teams fail at big tournaments, we have seen less experienced and un-fancied sides win big tournaments so it is possible’’.

‘’Again, whether in good times or in bad times all of us here in our dear country called Ghana have only one senior men national team is called the Black Stars. And we are the Black Stars and we are Ghana’’ he added.

As the hunt for the fifth AFCON title continues in neighboring Cote d’Ivoire, four-time AFCON Champions Ghana will be making their twenty-fourth appearance at Africa’s premier competition in Cote D’Ivoire.

The tournament, which is set to take place in Cote d’Ivoire from Saturday, January 13, to Sunday, February 11, 2024, features Ghana playing against Cape Verde, record holders Egypt, and Mozambique in Group B.
