0 – the number of home games Ghana did not win. Ghana did not collect three points in front of Ghanaian fans making the failure the more dispiriting. The Black Stars started the qualification series with a 0-0 home draw against Uganda in Tamale when Avram Grant was in charge.
The next home game was played in Kumasi and the Kwesi Appiah’s team failed to win as Congo picked a shocking point and finally during last Sunday, Ghana drew to already-qualified Egypt in Cape Coast 1-1. Ghana, Congo, Gabon and Algeria hold this bad record of not winning a home game in the CAF qualification tournament. If Burkina Faso fail to beat Cape Verde on Tuesday, they will join this unwanted list.
