Black Stars Head Coach, Chris Hughton, has labelled Egypt as a tough opposition for Ghana in the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The West African giants have been pitted against seven-time holders Egypt, together with Cape Verde and Mozambique in Group B.
Speaking to GFA media after the draw that was held in Abidjan on Thursday, Hughton said Ghana relishes the challenge the meeting the continent’s best teams.
“Egypt are a very experienced side, very experienced AFCON campaigners and I think they have more wins than any other country. For sure, they are very tough opposition.
“But of course, it is a competition and we are very much looking forward to playing against certainly one of the best teams on the African continent at this particular moment.”
The Black Stars will open their AFCON campaign against Cape Verde at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan on January 14, 2024.
