Ghana President Akufo-Addo charges Black Stars to end AFCON trophy drought in Cameroon
President Nana Akufo-Addo has charged the Black Stars to win the 2021 African Cup of Nations in order to end the 40-year trophy drought on the continent.
Ghana is among the 24 countries battling it out for the covetous trophy in Cameroon.
The Black Stars is making their 23rd appearance and have won the on four occasions in 1963, 1965, 1978 and 1982.
The West African powerhouse will open their AFCON account against Morocco later today.
Ahead of the game, Nana Akufo-Addo has wished the team well and has tasked the team to do all it can to end the 40-year trophy drought.
“Like with every edition of AFCON the Ghanaian people expect nothing short of ultimate glory from the stars.”
“The pressure to succeed is understandably high because of our status of four-time winners, and also because it has been 40 long years since we last lifted the trophy.”
“The target for you, naturally, is to bring the cup home. We have to go a step further than the second places recorded in 1992, 2010 and 2015, and bring the 40-year drought to an end,” the President said.
