Ghana Football Association President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku has declared his ambition to see the Ghana national football team win the Africa Cup of Nations title.
Ghana have struggled in recent editions of the continental competition, exiting at the group stage in 2021 and 2023.
The team also failed to qualify for the 2025 tournament held in Morocco.
Despite those disappointments, Okraku insists the dream of lifting the trophy remains alive.
“I want to win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), and that is the fact. Only God knows the number of times we have tried, and we have not been able to win the AFCON title,” he told Asaase Radio.
“We have not won with the Black Stars, but for the U-20, they won the AFCON, and Black Queens won bronze at the WAFCON, and they are back again to compete at the WAFCON next month.”
“The Black Starlets, after a number of years, are back at the AFCON and the Black Princesses just qualified for the last round of the U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers, and hopefully they will be at the World Cup. They have been there two times under my leadership,” he continued.
“Basically, I want to win every tournament for Ghana, and I want to place Ghana on the medal podium on any given occasion.”
Ghana last won the AFCON in 1982 and have since lost three finals in 1992, 2010 and 2015.
