PAOK defender Abdul Baba Rahman says Ghana’s Black Stars have the needed quality to win the next Africa Cup of Nations tournament after qualifying for next year’s tournament.
The Chelsea-owned-left-back believes Ghana have quality in abundance but, however, admits there should be proper planning and execution to improve the chances of annexing the AFCON trophy which has eluded the country for close to four decades.
Ghana haven’t won an AFCON title since last winning it in 1982. The Black Stars have failed to win the trophy thrice at the final stage, losing twice to Ivory Coast in 1992 and 2015 (through penalty Shootout) and also losing to Egypt in 2010.
“It’s difficult to say (we can win the AFCON). With Ghana qualifying for the AFCON, it looks like a mere formality…because since I’ve been with the Black Stars, I don’t think we’ve struggled to qualify for the nations cup,” Baba Rahman told footballmadeinghana.com.
“We’ve been saying to ourselves (in the past) that this is the time we have to win it but I think we need to properly plan everything. Get ourselves serious and I think the necessary things are done, Ghana have the quality and hopefully we can win it this time around. That is my dream,” he concluded.
