‘There is hope’ – Rashid Sumaila defiant about Black Stars AFCON title chances

Ghana international Rashid Sumaila is confident about the Black Stars Africa Cup of Nations title chances despite suffering a heavy to Algeria in a friendly.

The Black Stars preparations for AFCON 2021 suffered a jolt on Wednesday night when they got pummeled 3-0 by the North African side.

Adam Ounas gave the Algerians a first half lead before an own goal from Jonathan Mensah and Islam Slimani’s cool finish ensured the African and Arab champions head to AFCON with a confidence-boosting victory.

The AFCON 2021 has been scheduled between January 9 and February 6, 2022 in Cameroon.

Ghana is among the 24 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy in the Central Africa country.
