The General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Prosper Harrison Addo, has emphatically expressed their unwavering commitment to ensuring the Black Stars’ qualification for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations in Cote D’Ivoire.
Ghana’s pivotal qualification hinges on avoiding defeat in their final qualifying match against the Central African Republic, scheduled for September 7th at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Harrison Addo has been engaged in discussions regarding the preparations of the Senior National Team for the AFCON Qualifier against the Central African Republic.
“It’s a must, a game that we are not leaving anything unturn.” He told Citi Sports.
“We are going to work, both technical, players, administratively, and everybody will put their shoulder to the wheel.”
“I know Ghanaians will be in full support, so to ensure qualification. And then there are matches lined up to play, to prepare the team.
“Team building is a process and so we need to afford the team friendly matches.
And so, my only wish is that in team building, sometimes the coaches are trying a number of things, so we should give them the room.”
The Head Coach of the Black Stars, Chris Hughton, is anticipated to announce his squad for the game against the Central African Republic.
According to Harrison Addo, the players are in close communication with the Technical Team.
“The technical team is working. For most people, it’s when the list comes out that they think the coaches have started work. They’ve been working. It’s a constant communication with the players.”
“They’ve been monitoring them and they’ve been following them. Both Didi and George Boateng, and then Chris himself. He’s been going around the players, talking to them, has been engaging with their medical teams and coaches as well.”
“And so, when the date for the squad is to be announced is due, you see the work they’ve done at the background coming to the fore, and then we’ll proceed from.”
Ghana is currently leading Group E of the AFCON qualifiers with 9 points, followed by Angola in second place with 8 points.
The Central African Republic holds the third position with 7 points, while Madagascar, who has been eliminated, sits at the bottom with 2 points.
