Speaking on GTV’s Morning Show, the CAF Senior Media Officer said the Black Stars can win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Cameroon if Milovan Rajevac gets a fit squad.

“I hope the Black Stars will surprise Ghanaians positively. I am confident if Milovan Rajevac is able to put a squad together.  If we have all our players fit and Kudus, Kamaldeen, Jordan, Wakaso all in good shape we can give any country a good run for their money”, Saanie Daara said on GTV’s Morning Show.

“I think Ghana can be a dark horse in this tournament. If people underrate us we can be the surprise package in this tournament”, he added.
