Head coach of the Central African Republic (CAR), Raoul Savoy has conveyed his team’s readiness to face the Black Stars in the final 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Ghana is set to host CAR at the Baba Yara Stadium in a match that holds the key to qualification for the continental tournament to be held in Ivory Coast in January 2024.
The Wild Beasts from CAR understand that victory against Ghana in the upcoming match is vital for their chances of securing a spot in the prestigious tournament.
In contrast, the four-time AFCON champions, Ghana, require just a single point to secure their qualification.
Currently topping Group E with 9 points, Ghana maintains a narrow one-point lead over second-placed Angola and a two-point advantage over CAR in third place.
Coach Raoul Savoy emphasized that while his team does not fear Ghana, they hold immense respect for the players and the nation as a whole. He shared these sentiments during an interview with Ghanasportspage.
“No. We don’t fear Ghana but we have to respect all the players, this country Ghana and of course the Black Stars. It is not a question of fear but a question of respect”
CAR’s national team, the Wild Beasts, has already arrived in Accra ahead of this crucial encounter.
They are currently accommodated at the Oak Plaza Hotel in East Airport and will spend a few days in Accra before departing for Kumasi, the match’s venue.
