Chairman of the Black Stars management committee, Dr. Desmond Kofi Koduah Sarpong is confident that the country will win the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Ghana is chasing a fifth Nations Cup trophy, but has not been successful in recent years including losing two finals in the last decade.
The last time the Black Stars won the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1982. But the Chairman of the management team says he believes the team can end the continental trophy drought in Egypt.
