Dr. Tony Aubynn, Black Galaxies Management Committee Chairman says he is convinced the exposure gathered at the World Cup by Danlad Ibrahim and Afriyie Barnieh will play a vital role in the Black Galaxies pursuit of remaining competitive in Algeria.
The two home-based duo were part of coach Otto Addo’s final 26-man squad for the Black Stars at the ongoing 2022 Qatar FIFA World Cup.
But Ghana exited from the group stages following the loss to Uruguay in the final Group H game at the Al-Janoub Stadium on Friday, December 2, 2022.
Despite not playing any game for Ghana, Dr. Tony Aubynn believes the exposure alone will go along way to help them.
“In fact, I was with Afriyie Barnieh and Danlad Ibrahim in Qatar and they were highly motivated.” He told Akoma FM.
“I think the exposure gathered at the World Cup is very good for the team [Black Galaxies] and with the feeling of competing at the highest level, they have to come and prove something by helping the Galaxies at the CHAN tournament.”
“I believe they are coming with some experience and a renewed energy and new things coming up, because they were actively part of everything and every preparation at the World Cup.”
Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Danlad Ibrahim played an instrumental role in the country’s CHAN qualification series pipping rivals Nigeria to the tournament in Algeria.
