In a highly anticipated kick-off to the 34th Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), Ghana’s Black Stars have unveiled a new-look team in their opening clash against Cape Verde.
The managerial decision places Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer and Antoine Semenyo at the forefront, signaling a strategic shift in the team’s dynamics.
Adding to the anticipation is the return of Salisu, representing AS Monaco, to the Black Stars’ lineup after an absence since the World Cup game against Uruguay in Qatar.
The battleground for this redemption campaign is the Stade Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, where Ghana is set to face off against Cape Verde on Sunday evening, with the kick-off scheduled for 8:00 pm. The significance of this match cannot be overstated, given the disappointment that lingered from their previous Afcon outing.
Ghana, a footballing giant on the African continent, has been plagued by a 40-plus years Afcon trophy drought, a statistic that hangs heavily over the team and the expectations of the Ghanaian populace.
