Ghana international Yaw Yeboah believes the Black Stars have the needed quality to win the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations title.
The Black Stars will be competing for the covetous trophy in neighbouring country, Ivory Coast as the search for a fifth continental trophy continues.
Ghana are placed in Group B of the 2023 AFCON, alongside Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique.
Speaking to JoySports, Yeboah, who plies his trade for MLS outfit Columbus Crew expressed Ghana does not fall short in terms of quality and has therefore expressed optimism about clinching the ultimate.
“We have all the qualities to be there, all the qualities to win the AFCON,”
“We are hoping that everything goes well for the players and also for the country to ensure we win.” He said.
The former Black Meteors captain has been named in the 55-man provisional squad released on Wednesday. He will hope to make the cut for the tournament next month.
Yeboah last played for the Black Stars during the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers coming on as a late substitute in the 3-1 win over Zimbabwe.
The Black Stars have a history of success in the AFCON, having won the title four times, most recently in 1982. However, they have experienced defeat in three finals since then, including losses to Ivory Coast in 1992 on penalties and Egypt in 2010, as well as a repeat defeat to Ivory Coast in 2015.
The tournament is scheduled to kick off on Saturday, January 13 through to February 11, 2024.
